I don't normally have beetroot in the house because I don't really like it but for a change I thought I'd dish it up. Comments were: don't really like it and it tastes like dirt. It's a no from everyone.

Was it in a burger? If not, you're doing it wrong.

Hahaha. Yeah it was wrong cos I just put the balls on the plate.

I don't mind them if they are washed well and steamed. I slice them and eat them hot. They are messy to prepare tho.

I didn't think it needed saying but... never just put balls on a plate ๐Ÿ˜‡

Did you get them out of a tin? They look like the ones in tins.

No they came in a vacuum sealed pack.

Understood. If you have a household of beetroot refusers, then currying the beetroot can work. Mildish curry paste, and use orange juice as the cooking liquid. The tang tends to defuse that musky taste. Which I love but I can see why people don't. Pickled in a burger - well that hits the tang factor too.
