Oh, yuck.

I've gotten over my beets aversion (and they taste surprisingly good grated on salad, you know), but I don't think I'll ever go so far as to put it on a sandwich.

Do New Zealanders really do that? Why? (And no, Americans don't "still put it on our burgers", because they just don't belong there.)

(Well, in fairness, if I can slip grated carrot into hamburger patties every time I cook them, I'm sure a small amount of grated beet in there as well wouldn't go too far amiss. Makes it ever-so-slightly healthier, and softer as well. But that's not the same as putting it on a burger, like one would put pickles or mustard on a burger.)

Beets are always good. Full stop.

Chocolate's always good, but I wouldn't put it in a tuna sandwich.

What zie said. I LOVE beets.

How 'bout beetroot + fried egg on a burger? Suprisingly good, actually, but a 'once a year' kind of indulgence for this reporter!

There's an Aussie restraunt around here (we had our rehearsal dinner there actually). Pavlova IS a sensitive issue. But a delicious one. Way better than beets. :)

Yeah... eggs don't go on burgers either.

I don't think that beets on a burger would taste that much different from ketchup. Then again, I don't like ketchup.

[conuly]

Well, there you go.

And I can't see how they'd taste the same, to be honest.

We occasionally do that in Germany, too. (Or at least I know several people around here who might be caught putting pickled beetroot on a sandwich.)

The answer is, because it's tasty. Bread + beets is a surprisingly good combination.

Yes they do do that all the time and I hate it :p.

[bookgirlwa.livejournal.com]

Yes, we do, and I have no fucking clue why. I'm not a beetroot fan at all.

Borscht is the answer!

Borscht burgers. Catchy!

I adore beetroot & caramelized onions on burgers. Yum!

Also, pavlovas are OUR invention.
