Did anyone see Saturday Kitchen ? James Martin was cooking beetroot and said not to eat the leaves as they're poisonous! What chance have we got it chefs don't know what we can eat!

[Earthbabe]

I heard the same thing on my local radio station on Sunday. There was a general thing on what to do with beetroot. Nearly phoned/texted but decided I didn't want the aggro of trying to state my case. Woos that I am. And I was getting ready to go to work.

Is it any wonder people develop irrational ideas about food when this goes on. I thought JM knew better. Maybe he doesn't know what goes into his mixed baby salad leaf garnish. If it still used.

[zebedee]

Absolutely agree! Beet tops are luvverly to eat

[MissyMoo]

the leaf miners ate my beetroot leaves....I never got a look in. But I have been wondering how you spell woos!

[Earthbabe]

Well I think that's how you spell it but I have been known to be wrong. Quite regularly in fact.

I do like the fact that James (first name terms you know ha ha ha) refers most weeks to something he grows in his garden. like this week he was asking Jane in Eastenders (cant remember her name) about her granddad and dad growing things in the back yard.
I must admit I didn't see the bit when he said about the beet leaves but if i was on the guest's table i would have spoken up

Lovely one Dinky Doo!

[Earthbabe]

Going back to the cheffing thing. I see JM will be trying some self-sufficiency in the November mag (see October mag, mine arrived today). Does this mean he may actually learn what can and can't be eaten.

[JennieAtkinson]

Great one Dinky Doo!

[Mrs Dobby]

[dexterdoglancashire]
