The supermarket tends to sell beets which are ginormous and full of chemicals. A fresh, locally grown, ripe beet tastes wonderful. I think anyone who dislikes beets didn't get the right kind
I pretty much agree with your Irish friend. Pumpkin pie can be very excellent, however. I used to grow pumpkins and then one year I had a volunteer plant that looked just like pumkpin but the fruit was much different, smaller, green/brown/grey with black vertical stripes. It was delicious (so infinitely better than pumpkin), it had excellent keeping properties. The flesh is denser than orange pumpkins, sweeter. I had no idea what it was and I spotted some at my local produce super market and was told they were kabochas, also known as Japanese pumpkins. I've been growing them exclusively ever since. My seeds are from the original, and I've planted some from a few kabochas I've bought at that same market, in order to expand the gene pool. I think some bees have brought in some foreign pollens, so that has added variety to the pool of plants I'm growing. They keep so well that I have these all year.I'm not sure how popular it is in Western Europe.
Beetroot (I'm guessing its the same shit) is hell popular here, but people from Ireland and the UK have never seen it.
They're like 'WTF is this shit'?
Same with pumpkin. My Irish mate was like 'Pumpkins are for jack o'lanterns, not for eatin.'
lol
You are making me consider planting some beets this year. I doubt the seeds I have would germinate. They must be a dozen years old, I'll have to buy a packet of seeds.The supermarket tends to sell beets which are ginormous and full of chemicals. A fresh, locally grown, ripe beet tastes wonderful.

OK:
--Thai Pumpkin curry: tits
--Pumpkin bread: tits
--Pumpkin muffin: tits
--Pumpkin seeds: plump tits
--Pumpkin pie: big giant tits
etc
logical fallacy.the fact that you can find them in basically every single mass market grocery store contradicts your main assertion
I wouldn't brag about my wife having been in a child pornography ring. D:
I meant early twenties...not thinking when I write. LOL
Swiss chard...yum.
what other conclusion could you draw from its being a mass market vegetable? im not claiming its america's favorite food, but stores arent really known for stocking unpopular products...logical fallacy.
Just because they are sold in a lot of stores, doesn't mean everybody eats them.
