That's one question I set out to answer. As a kid the answer would have been a firm NO WAY! But I hated brussels sprouts too and have since decided I quite like them drizzled in olive oil, sprinkled with salt and pepper and roasted.
So I researched beets and how to prepare them. I decided my first beet experience should be simple and in the form of roasted golden beets. A quick search in Epicurious turned up this recipe for Beet Salad which was originally published in Self magazine.
Roasting beets does smell good and I was thinking I was really going to like them. Before assembling the salad I bit into a wedge of unadulterated beet. Not bad. But not great. I didn't hate it. So I proceeded to assemble the salad (subbing olive oil for sesame oil)and dug in. Turns out beets are great when tossed with balsamic vinegar and topped with goat cheese and walnuts.
I'd definitely make this again and make it pretty for company like the Self picture.
So while I don't love beets I'm no longer opposed to them.
Tomorrow dinner is coming from an unexpected country. I can't wait!

I am glad you are coming round! They really are delicious.
I'm not a fan of beets, but I've had them in something similar out at a restaurant and they were OK. Maybe this will be the recipe to try to see if I really do like them.
