They taste like dirt and are therefore supposed to be good for you.

If they tasted good they would be bad for you.

I put themn in the same camp at Tilapia (mexican bream) and most farm pond catfish.

I like them in small doses. They're good roasted with balsamic vinegar. Just don't eat a lot or the next day you may be rushing to your doctor with visions of colon "issues" in your head. :eek:

They are tasty. Don't whine and eat your vegetables. :p All joking aside try skinning them, then boil them, mix them with a vinaigrette and eat them that way. The vinaigrette needs to be thick though. I never liked beats until I had them that way. If your feeling fancy look up Verrine betterave rouge, there are many recipes and mixtures with beats and they are nothing short of amazing if done correctly. Now that I am thinking about it I wish I could import my sister-in-law too as she is one bad ass Chef, anyone who could make beats as palatable as she is an amazing Chef. Damn I love French cuisine.

I had them for the first time two years ago and have slowly incorporated more root vegetables into my diet and cooking. I was introduced to them by my mother-in-law who has numerous health issues that are improved by eating a Paleo/Auto Immune Protocol (AIP) diet. I imagine that the rise in popularity of the Paleo/AIP types of diets is responsible for this thread.

Oh yeah, and don't forget to try the jicama.

If you haven’t tried roasted beets your missing something good. Skin them, cube, olive oil , salt and roast on a pan. Awesome. Another example of tastes changing as you grow older. ( I did not say grow up because most of my friends do not consider me grown up. I always point out that is why we ask children what to you want to do when you grow up ? But then we change it to being an adult)

Another pan roasted awesome is roasted Brussel sprout with thick cut bacon.

I'd eat borscht all day, every day and twice on Sunday to avoid gefilte fish. Who thinks up this stuff? It's like penance for original sin.

I mean, I come from relatively modest means...but the food the poor Mediterranean, (Sicilian, Greek), relations prepared was WAAAAY better, (by and large), than the stuff from the Eastern European side (except for blintzes and such which I loved).

I've had borscht on the lower east side of Manhattan at Eastern European (Ukrainian et al) restaurants that freshly prepared was actually not objectionable, and dare I say it?, good. Otherwise, beets be damned!

Wow! My experiences are quite similar. As a kid and still to this day the thought of consuming beets turns my stomach. Anything on my plate that was contaminated by reddish beet juice (excrement) was rendered unfit for human consumption. Mashed potatoes were extremely vulnerable to beet poisoning.

"BeetElite is the choice of health conscious athletes, who focus on performance from nutrition and foods to stimulate Nitric Oxide. One recommended serving of BeetElite is the Nitric Oxide equivalent of six whole beets and helps the body promote:

Extended exercise endurance
Improved energy and stamina
Increased oxygen delivery in the body"

I think this is the reason you're seeing more beet juices and smoothies. If you search on "beets athletic performance" you'll find a lot of articles promoting beet juice for endurance athletes.

"The beet juice revolution among endurance athletes has roots in a 2009 study done by Exeter University in the United Kingdom. Its findings were pretty simple: drinking regular beet juice increased blood nitrate levels and reduced resting blood pressure.

Also, and perhaps more importantly for runners, it reduced oxygen consumption during moderate running and increased time to exhaustion by 15 percent."

Same for me until I was 21 and a then-girlfriend took me to a Franco-Russian restaurant in Berkeley CA.
The roasted beets were a revelation. I never liked the canned variety until then- now I hate them.

We make a bunch of different beet dishes here, but roasted with olive oil and sea salt is a staple.

It seems like these vile excuses for vegetables are becoming more popular. Why?

I have to concur with the sentiment you've expressed.. god, I hate beets... As a kid, I ran into one juicy looking bright red thing at a buffet somewhere causing serious trauma requiring years of therapy I didn't receive - so the hatred continues.

Hatred, that is, until I met a Ukrainian woman who conned me into trying "traditional Ukrainian soup." I was sceptical as hell, especially after she thwapped a glob of sour cream on top. Borshch (red, that is) is the magical purification of beets into an edible form. It's actually quite delicious. Green borshch is the spawn of satan, but red... that's something else entirely. Beets purified through the Borshch methodology are delicious. Still won't eat them any other way though.

“The beet is the most intense of vegetables. The radish, admittedly, is more feverish, but the fire of the radish is a cold fire, the fire of discontent not of passion. Tomatoes are lusty enough, yet there runs through tomatoes an undercurrent of frivolity. Beets are deadly serious.

Slavic peoples get their physical characteristics from potatoes, their smoldering inquietude from radishes, their seriousness from beets.

The beet is the melancholy vegetable, the one most willing to suffer. You can't squeeze blood out of a turnip...

The beet is the murderer returned to the scene of the crime. The beet is what happens when the cherry finishes with the carrot. The beet is the ancient ancestor of the autumn moon, bearded, buried, all but fossilized; the dark green sails of the grounded moon-boat stitched with veins of primordial plasma; the kite string that once connected the moon to the Earth now a muddy whisker drilling desperately for rubies.

The beet was Rasputin's favorite vegetable. You could see it in his eyes.”

I hate a LOT of things, so it should be no shock that beets are on the "No, hell no!" list, along with a ton of other stuff. My dad loved borscht, and actually paid me to take a spoonful of the rotten stuff. Awful. I don't understand how anyone can eat them, no matter how doctored up they are. I can do broccolli ok, peas too, lettuce of several kinds, not that bitter stuff, carrots (Raw only, I hate cooked ones), but other than that, I can't take any other vegetables. Anything in the gourd family is a "NO!". But then again, I'm super picky and I'm sure a lot of you would be shocked to look at me and find out all the stuff I won't eat. Here is a short list, incomplete, but hits most of the major ones:

Tomatoes: The devil's testicles as far as I'm concerned. I hated them before I could talk.
Cheese, and basically all dairy: Ranges from mildly repelled by (Skim milk) to totally repulsed by (Most cheese and Sour Cream).
Basically I'm revolted by anything white and creamy.
Tartar sauce: If it's on anything, it's trash.
Mayo. Yuck.
Yeah, that means no Pizza or anything with cheese and tomatoes in it. Gross.
Ranch dressing: NOTHING IS AS REVOLTING AS IT IS! Just the smell makes me gag.
Poultry: I just don't understand it's appeal. Same goes for "white meat" Pork. I'll pass. If it's fried, OK, but I would rather have Beef or Fish, it's always good, except for the fish below.
Fish: No Tuna, Trout, or Salmon. Most other fish, I like a lot. Shrimp, Crab, Lobster, etc, oh yeah, I like!
Coffee. I just don't understand what there is to like about it. Nasty bitter, and just bad tasting.
There's more, but this is the main stuff.

I have learned that real picky eaters fall into 2 categories. The first one is that they have never been hungry. I m not talking about missed lunch hungry but the ones that would chase a cockroach through a cesspool hungry. The second group are the ones that survived on boiled turnips from months on end and would suck start a .357 before they would ever eat another one. There is not a whole lot out there I wouldn't eat, there is a few things I prefer not to eat, such as lima beans. This is because I have been hungry and I will never forget the smell of limas cooking. Today I am fortunate and have been for a really long time now but I realize that it could all change tomorrow.

Probably would. But I'm not nearly the pickiest person I know of. I used to work with a guy who made me seem like a "foodie". He was limited to about 3 things. Burgers, mashed potatoes, and carrots, lots of carrots.

I am the very definition of a Supertaster. I don't like anything bitter at all. I can tolerate drinking straight lemon juice (Sour is not a big deal), but coffee is like poison to me.

I made it clear about a lot of the stuff I hate long before I could talk. I've been remarkably consistent in my hates. I've never suddenly started eating something that I previously found revolting. My first, worst hate, tomato anything, was clear to everyone but my mother, who continued to shove spaghetti with sauce on it into my mouth, even after my dad, grandmother, sister and others told her it was obvious I didn't like the sauce. A phone call keeping her from putting the sauce on it until I had already shoved the plain noodles down finally made the light come on. My tossing it against the wall, screaming, "NO!", spitting it out, turning my head away and squirming in the high chair, well, none of that seemed to make her understand how much I hate tomatoes. Ranch dressing is something I had only seen on TV when I was a kid, I never saw it in person until I was in my late 30's, and I have to admit, it makes tomatoes seem almost good in comparison. It's my "ultimate nightmare" as far as food goes. I have many other "nightmare" stuff, but Ranch is just the worst.

I firmly believe that my dairy repulsion has allowed me to be a very overweight old guy without any sugar issues. Along with no diabetes, I can eat anything I want, no matter how greasy or spicy it is, without any stomach issues. Unlike virtually all of my friends of similar age.

Pickled turnips with a couple of pieces of beet to turn them pink = A+
Borscht = B+
Roasted beets drizzled with olive oil and kosher salt = A

Beets should come in these containers so there's no confusion...

We tried this with dinner today. You and I clearly have different ideas about candy. ;)

I can't really say they sucked, but I wouldn't call them good either. They were just kind of there.

You might need better beets? I've had some that were meh and others that were sweet and tasty.

Could be. They definitely weren't sweet. Didn't really have much flavor at all. I'll find some from somewhere else and try again.

Well the poll closed and the results clearly indicated that beets suck and are not fit for even Rosie O'Diesel to eat.

I saw some radish hate up thread.

Radishes are amazing; pickled, roasted, baked, raw. Cooked with butter, onions, and carrots? That's like heaven on a plate.

But for some reason, my wife can never cook vegetables without fucking them up. I'm not sure what the deal is, but she always over cooks them or roasts them.

It seems like these vile excuses for vegetables are becoming more popular. Why?


My wife can stew the Hell out of some Beets.

I am amazed, Sir, at the breadth of your experience.

I too love me some radishes but speak to me more about this^ What have I been missing my whole life?
