I do allow beetroot in the house, and my family eats it, mais pas moi!<BR/><BR/>You are kidding me about beetroot in a cake, right?! xox Always more than happy to big up Saz's creativity and style! <BR/> <BR/>Derrick: Like I said with The Chairman, how about a Recipe Du Jour you two?!<BR/><BR/>I also grew up with tinned fruits, and I think that that's the problem - I don't like tinned fruit salad either, but am a real fruit bat, generally! <BR/> <BR/>carma: Bless you for backing me up on the inned-tay eaches-pay! Step back from the tin!<BR/> <BR/>Michelle: I guess I am not adverse to teh colour, I like all pinks and reds, it's the cold taste, maybe I need to try them roasted, after all! You are missing nothing with The Simpsons, friend! No probs! x<BR/><BR/>The joke refers to how some accented English say basin (as in sink or hand-basin, and it sounds like bison - Maybe it doesn't translate so well!<BR/><BR/>Diane: Bless you, love you loads too! I did not know who those little chaps were at all! You have me all excited about coming to your page; Almost as excited as I get about celebrating all our diversity! xxxx<BR/><BR/>Scriptor Senex: Sorry to have put you off your pudding, Sir! <BR/> <BR/>French Fancy: I feel a Beetroot Hating Club coming on! I am exactly the same - Not able to pick around a salad that has had beetroot on it! Other than those two foodstuffs I am not at all a faddy eater, but when you put it in black and white, I sound really fussy! xA Woman Of No Importancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02194976046531063422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-570655052849048780.post-48410798684870945112009-02-06T14:52:00.000+00:002009-02-06T14:52:00.000+00:00I loathe and detest beetroot - in fact if it is on...I loathe and detest beetroot - in fact if it is on a plate of salad and has touched other stuff on the plate I then can't eat any of the other stuff either. I just don't know how people can eat it.<BR/><BR/>I know what you mean about the Simpsons. It does seem to have got a lot harder and more aggressive over the last few years.

I think the fact that it does bleed colour and can stain your skin is what puts off some folks. But it is delicious roasted as the chairman says!<BR/><BR/>I've NEVER watched The Simpsons!<BR/><BR/>I grew up with tinned peaches, along with pears, fruit salad etc.! And the 'sympathetic' cream that went with them. It's nice not to have them still but, hey, I can't complain!<BR/><BR/>Great list, as ever.
