So now what do I do with it??????

i like making picled beets or also just puting italian dressing and onions in a bowl with then after they are cooked and chillit overnight or i cook them till tender peel them then slice them and fry them in some butter

In regards to beetroot you cook it what I shall do for you if you wish is to put a discussion with a recipe for cooking beetroot I hope that you will watch for it, I shall put it out with tomorrow's recipes especially for you. You don't eat them raw though ok. Yes I know what you mean that they do come in tins and these are the ones I use for my sandwiches.

Cut the tops to within an inch or so of the root, then wash and put the roots in a pot of boiling water. Don't peel them until they're tender. Put them under cold water and the skins will slip off. Pickled is the best way to eat them, in my opinion. Slice them and put in a deep but narrow container. Mix water and vinegar about half and half, then add a heaping tablespoon of sugar for each cup of liquid. Mix it together and pour it over the beets. Refrigerate overnight. You can also eat the tops like spinach. They have a very mild flavor, so if you don't like spinach, you might like beet greens.

You cook them and eat them like carrots, or at least that iswhat my mother does. i hate the taste of them and simply refuse to eat tehm at all, much to the horror of my uncles and aunts who love the things.
