Beetroot

[den]

I can't stand tinned beetroot. I hate the sugary, vinagary taste that drowns out the beetroot.

I love home-cooked beetroot, especially when it's hot.

Ever had borscht with good fresh beet roots? It's a Polish dish. You simmer the beets in water with salt, pepper, and onions (including the green tops at the last minute --- enough to cook them but not to wilt). When it cools but is still warm, you mix in sour cream and chill the soup. It's served cold with crackers and sharp cheese --- very good and it really brings out the flavor.
