When I tell my wife to just pick anything for dinner, she jokingly suggests beets because I avoid them like the plague. I’ve even tried them smothered in ketchup on bread when forced to eat them by my parents. It didn’t help.
Yeah and it doesn’t help with cold just out of the can spam either. That had to be the most horrible dish my country grandma ever tried to feed me. Geesh I can still remember the greasy taste of the stuff and ketchup did not help at all.
Beets are the only honest vegetable!
They grow in dirt!
They taste like dirt!
What more could ya ask for?
Actually, I plant some beets every year - but not for the beets, for the greens that I use in salads or fried up with scrambled eggs or steaks.
