You never know I might come back one of these days ... if one of you lot actually offered a girl a drink

Beetroot.... Mrs HF makes a fantastic pav bahji, a beetroot, cauliflower and chick-pea side dish. Scrummy.

 

Ooooo ... recipe please

 

I shall consult the Oracle....

 

When I was a five year old recently, school dinner used to have cooked beetroot as a vegetable. As we only ever had cold beetroot with salad at home, this was a new experience for me and I loved it. Can't remember much about the dinners in general, just the hot beetroot.

 

In a previous life I celebrated an engagement at a Polish restaurant in Shepherds Bush, Patio I think it was called, and I never realised how wonderful beetroot is. As you say, we only see it pickled for the most part.

 

Beetroot? Nooooooooo.....where's the ignore button?

 

Has beetroot become the new Marmite?
