(My apologies to any space dirt enjoyers)

only thing I know about beetroots is that here in France, we turn them into sugarcubes. *a staff member taps me on the shoulder and makes me look at the teleprompter* I am being informed that beetroots and sugar beets aren't the same thing and that French just doesn't give them different names

Reminds me of those posts people make on how they learned after years that bananas are not supposed to be spicy, and turned out to just have been allergic to them all along. (side note is arugula supposed to be bitter? every prepackaged "healthy salad" seems to add a ton of it and I dislike it)

I've only really eaten them pickled. Then they have flavour.

I have only eaten it on its own as a side dish, and it is... alright; much, much better is when it is picked!

My experience with beetroot is seeing it used it as a dye for things to make it shades of red, the main one that comes to mind is a video of someone making mashed potatoes red for valentines day

Over time people have grown up with less bitter food, and thus are more sensitive to it.
