Last night I ate some pickled beets

[hippywife]

and I liked them! LOL No one was more surprised than me. I can only vaguely remember tasting one when I was a kid and never again.

(I just ate a York Peppermint Patty and liked it, too! ;) )

1. I love beets.

Never had a bad beet dish yet.

2. Now I'd dying to try

a rutabaga and parsnip recipe someone posted in the Cooking & Baking group and I can't find any! I let all these wonderful root vegetables pass me by and now I can't find them. Even the local farm market doesn't carry them anymore.

3. They rock, do they not?

:D and most people I meet hate beets, but I love them; pickled beets are even better, in my opinion

4. They do rock!

And these were home canned by the mother of one of my husband's co-workers. Very excellent, indeed! :hi:

5. In New Zealand, they put pickled beets in sandwiches and hamburgers

and candied cranberries on brie and chicken pizzas...

:thumbsup:

6. Those crazy Kiwis.

I abhor chicken pizza,but I'd try the beets in a sandwich.

8. I don't know how I'd

like them on a sandwich. They're pretty good just the way they are.

I did buy a pastry wrapped brie with cranberries and walnuts today, tho. Can't wait to bake that baby up and eat it! Yum!
