Well, thanks to all two of you for the lively discussion about cantaloupe.... Maybe beets will generate more fodder? (Don't worry, cantaloupe will come back!)
So, beets -- they taste like dirt. Discuss. Or refute...
Needless to say, I was aghast that the farm I volunteered at in Ecuador grew a LOT of beets (remolachas) compared to everything else.

Ok ok, sometimes blogs take awhile to catch on! (That, or you don't have enough friends who like to procrastinate and talk about yucky food. But I like both canteloupe and beets, so what am I doing adding to this rant? Hmmmmm....)
Actually, the more I think about it, I DON't really like beets. Who eats beets anyway? I can't remember the last time I ate a beet. I was thinking of the the maroon jelly thing we are forced to eat at Thanksgiving but that is cranberry. Can you provide some dietary information on these so called yucky-foods? Boy, that would really turn up the fire in this here blogspace!!!!!
I agree that beets taste like dirt (I've eaten enough dirt to compare). I like beets when I feel malnourished. What about beetloaf?
How about this one for discussion:
"perfection salad," which incorporated cabbage, celery and red peppers in tomato Jell-O.
Beets make borscht. That, in and of itself, is a huge problem.
Cantaloupe ain't bad, though.
I'm not opposed to beets. I sometimes find them quite good - pickled Middle Eastern style, for example. But I'm generally a very open eater, while I know that Stephanie has problems with many foods.... Hence the blog.
I don't have THAT many problems with food!!!! Especially compared to sheltered people who are afraid to try ethnic food or barely eat any veggies! There are just a few popular food items that I think have gone unquestioned for too long. So now is the time for questioning!
