Why Indeed

September 17th, 2007 | by Craig |

Today’s gem from the Google seekers of knowledge: why are cooked beets sold?

Indeed. In fact, I would go a step further and ask, “Why are uncooked beets sold? Or pickled beets, for that matter?”

    Now, now.
    Let’s not get carried away here. Pickled beets are like candy to those of German blood.

    While not as nearly as revolting as mushrooms, there is something seriously not right about food that makes your fecal matter appear as though you are vigorously hemorraging. Not that I would know, since I don’t eat beets.

    I am a huge fan of pickled beets. I grew up down south, as you know, and every meal included a wealth of accompaniments: chow chow, hot pepper relish, green onions, and a selection of pickled pepper, okra and/or beets.

    Good stuff.

    I’m with Randy. Pickled beets = candy! Yummy, yummy candy!

    Good Lord man, don’t you like anything that’s good?

    I’m with Craig. Beets are disgusting.

    Hey, I like beets too! A salad bar without cold pickled beets is NOT a salad bar. Not that there are many of those anymore.

    Yup, two or three sliced beets (and either a spoonful of fresh peas or chick peas, depending on availability) really add to a salad …

    Hey! Back off, man. Beets are our good friends. They help us healthy wise (iron, iodine, essential salts …) and you get to experience bloody stool!

    …without the whole life threatening part.

    I love Beets just about any way mentioned so far.

    What about *raw* beets? You’d think that they were sold, too.

    I only like pickled red beets myself. Too much time spent with those big old ugly sugarbeets. . .
