really? you may have convinced me to try them again again. I mean, the color is fabulous, but the taste just has not grown on me.

Gwen, you eat them anyway? Even though though you don’t like them? You are one tough chick.

Karen, I can honestly say I have no idea why they tasted good one day! Very strange. Please carry on for me in the Beet-Haters Club. I feel bad having left it minus a member.

QA — oh yes, I love them roasted with other root veggies. And pickled? Mmmm… you have excellent taste. =)

Seared with butter! That sounds amazing. I must try that next!

Lianne…I don’t like to admit to this, but… I do that too. :/

I consider myself one of the lucky ones – I have always loved beets and still do. I’m a bit of a slow learner though, even after all these years I still sometimes freak out at the colour of my pee after a beet binge. There’s often that split second moment when I’m, like, AAAAAA- I’m bleeding internally!!!!

I love it! They really are beautiful and can be utterly delicious, though I’m not sure I’ve ever had canned beets. I prefer seared with butter. Yum! Congratulations on your discover.

Roasting Beets with other root vegetables is a great way to eat them. Sometimes when eaten raw they cause my kids throat to hurt. Pickled Beets is also good.

Oh, Emma! I keep finding posts that I resonate with me – I’m all: “Me too!” – but not this one – sigh – I still don’t like beets!

I WANT to, I do! But ugh. Their color is luscious, health benefits – yep, but taste – argh. My mother likes them, my (adult) kids like ‘em, even my granddaughter.

Maybe in 2010? We can hope.

p.s. “Yeah, that was weird.” That line, after the set-up for it, cracked me up!
