Never heard of "46 Beetroot". Is it a red variety like Boltardy? Eating or pickling seems the two best options.....

I use most of my beetroot either as a lovely roasted veggie or in salad. Also preserve as pickled beetroot quite a lot and this year have tried some roasted sweet beet relish from the River Cottage preserves book. Not tasted it yet so don't know what it's like but sounds good. Oh yes and beetroot and chocolate brownies are nice too

Which one are you and is it how you want to be?Comment

Borscht (beetroot soup) particularly nice with an apple or two in it, a swirl of yoghurt on top and some chopped dill.Comment

I'm still wondering why you decided to lift and cook 46 of them

Erm, coz they were getting big and I didn't want to leave them to go woody. We do eat a lot of beetroot, usually just roasted in foil - but I don't usually cook this many at once. I must admit to feeling a bit overwhelmed when they all came out of the oven! Some of them are white beetroot - they are ok but I much prefer the red. I find the texture of the white ones a bit slimy/jellyish - don't think I'll bother growing them next year. I didn't know cooked beetroot would freeze ok - that takes care of some of them - I'll make some soup and check out the chutney and cake recipes!

I'm not fond of the white ones either, they're a bit tough and turnipy to my taste
Actually I've not really eaten any beets this year if I'm honest I only like them in vinegar and it's cheaper to buy than to make my own
I've got half a dozen in the fridge, I think I'll soup themAll gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.Comment

I quite like those stripey ones though but agree about the white ones, just don't seem right in colour, texture or taste.
