Honestly, we call them just beets over here. I am unfamiliar with the term beetROOT but I'm really sorry for the international incident.
...
apologize accepted!

The younger beet greens aren't to bad either (with some butter again). A whole lot better than collards greens (YUCK!!)
Actually Harvard Beets are a different thing. The beets themselves are not pickled, but are served in a kind of sweet and sour sauce. They are quite yummy, and in fact one of my favourite things to do with beets. Awesome with baked ham and scallopped potatoes

I love beets, especially on a salad. I guess the one's on the salad are the pickled version. I also like canned beets, which aren't pickled.

You know, I'm not quite sure how I feel about beets. I don't know that I've ever tried them!


Something that I eat when no one is looking....That has got to be raw cookie dough! Oh, yummy! What's ironic about that is I am..uhm, picky....when it comes to foods being fully cooked and at right temperatures and all that high mainenance kind of stuff. But for some reason, it simply doesn't bother me at all that I'm eating raw eggs! Probably because it's sooo goooood

If I have it in my :censor::censor::censor::censor:.......I like to eat COLD FRIED SHRIMP and sometimes make it into a sandwhich.
Oh heck, I just love cold fried seafood just as much as I do hot outta the pan!

My mom used to make beet salad when I was young and it always grossed me out. Now that I am older I always try things I didnt like as a kid to see if I like them now the verdict.....I still dont like beets!

I'm not too crazy about beets, but I'll eat borscht if it is served. I might have a pickled beet or two as well.

When no one is looking? Hmmmm... I think I eat the same when no one is looking. I can eat lots of cheese flavored crackers right out of the box.

I remember when I was young, my neighbour, who was about 6 at the time, sat on a slice of beetroot. He had a red stain on his upper thigh under his bum for about a week. Looked funny.

I don't think I had beet, cause I just asked my husband what was it. Haven't heard of it yet before.

Beets? Hmmm...I think my mom used to pickle boiled eggs in pickled beets. Not a big fan of beets, but I'll eat them. I'll eat almost anything as long as it's not moving--if it's in a food group, I'll at least try it.

What do I eat when no one's looking??? I drink straight out of the milk carton and eat cookie dough without even closing the fridge. Cookie dough makes me a piggy, I love it!!!!!
