I will clean my glasses next time I go to Macro and pickle them myself.
Too hot, especially in Southern Thailand's tropical year long climate.
Maybe you can grow them in Chiang Mai.
What do you do with them?
He pickles them. Asked for the recipe but the stingy old git won't give it to me.Quote:

Here you got the recipe. Very delicious - eat them with meat, meatballs, in sallads,
on the liver pate, use your imagination. The canned variety you get in Thailand is a huge insult to the wonderful and extremely healthy beetroot
just boil them slice them and cover with vinegar --malt is best but any will do
Thats right Donald, I find malt almost obligatory as the thai stuff is too strong

I find the Thai beetroots to be a little earthy in flavour compared to the Euro versions, maybe no sweetness to them?

A hamburger is not a hamburger without beetroot.
I think you mean 'An Ockerburger is not an Ockerburger without beetroot'.Quote:

Probably the horrid Russian style slop. Next time eat the Ukrainian style my granny taught me to make.Quote:

The real tragedy is we might be related.....:sssh:
I'm not 150 years old, so it's unlikely I knew any early Ockers.Quote:

similar inspiration here as well charley, brought my self 6 for a pickling today

Off to sterilize a jar.
A farrangs work is never done.
Beetroot are excellent roasted too.
In a roasting tray along with garlic,carrots,onions, in fact any root veg to hand, season,. I like to add fresh tyme (if available) serve up with a pork chop that has been roasted in with the veg and creme fraiche on the side.
Bower. Sounds good but too late for me...

I use fresh beetroot in juice every day, very good for you in any form.
Pickled I prefer Heinz, tho a tad sweet.
