Guest guest Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Thanks, Kim I realized it was the common language problem : The Queen's English vs American. I have a bunch of beetroots, and will be trying this recipe today. Bunnie Kim <bearhouse5 wrote: Hi Bunnie, Yes, beetroot are he same as beets.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Yes, I'm always surprised that 2 countries that speak the same language have so many differences, but then again even in a country as small as Australia we have our fair share of differences from state to state. In the files I've altered the folder title to read " Beets (Beetroot) " . I've also added it to the " Alternative Names " file (In " Conversion Tables " ) in the Files and in " Database " . On the subject of beets/beetroot, in Australia we always buy our cans of beetroot sliced and pickled (with vinegar etc.) is that the case in America ? Do let us know how the recipe works out, Kim , Bunnie <hmmmmnbird wrote: > > Thanks, Kim > I realized it was the common language problem : The Queen's English vs American.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 My father used to say about GB and America : " two countries, separated by a common language " , Yes, one cana buy canned beets sliced and pickled, which is the most common way, but one can also get them whole, without vinegar, or other pickling. I have some fresh beetroots in the fridge, but I had them for a while, so they aren't as fresh as they could be. When I get them fresh, I love to cook the greens, too. Haven't tried the recipe yet; got lazy today, but maybe I'll go make it now.
