Giant Lutz Beets - Page 3

Since you folks seem to be also beet experts, I shall ask....

What is your favorite beets for just boiling and eating as a side dish with dinner? I love
beets, but planted Detroit Red, loved it and never bothered to try others as I thought it
was a real winner, but maybe I am missing something even better. I am certainly open to
your opinions. I don't care about leaves, julienne, or other ways of enjoying beets. Just
boil and eat!! Thanks for your input.

I like Detroit, Cylindra and Red Ace if I have to planter later in spring...

Detroit dark red is my fav. But I keep trying new ones. 2 years ago I had tried candy cane beets. They were pretty good too.

I'd like to learn to like beets. Now thanks to Scott, I'm drooling for the beet trifle !
(It sounds like the layers of the dessert trifle).

This looks like the recipe you're talking about. Sounds yummy to me. But I love pickled herring!

That's it. But Americanized somewhat. And yes it is yummy.

BTW My mother came from Colerain, North Carolina. A tiny tiny town on the east coast near the Chowan River. Once years ago, it was famous for being the pickled herring capital of the world. All gone now though.
