I guess when you start eating something strong tasting like that as a kid, you can end up liking it, which I did. Had a bit just now, took me right back to my Granny's kitchen!
That never did work with beets for me though...ugh, my parents grew them in the garden and even if every single crop failed, the beets would always make! I hated them so much! So did both my sisters. We were always expected to eat all our fruits and vegetables (other foods my mom was more lenient on), and finally one time my middle sister was eating the beets, and they must have tasted so horrible to her, she threw them up and after that my mom started giving miniscule portions of beets to all 3 of us though I wished she would skip them altogether. I never could develop a paltate for beets as an adult even though I now like other foods I didn't care for as a child such as raw onion, bell pepper, olives. Big no on beets though! My sisters too told me neither of them can stand beets as adults either, not even my youngest sister who eats super healthy.

Oh, eh on blue cheese but beets I love them especially pickled and especially in my borscht. I make the best borscht you’ll have ever tasted. It’s from a vegetarian cookbook. The problem is I can only cook it in a huge soup pot. I’ve converted lots of beet haters with my borscht. Of course sour cream and fresh dill weed is half the secret.
Well my taxes are all done! It cost a bit but I’ll get a nice rebate plus a check for the cost of doing taxes. It’s just soooo gorgeous outside. Not at all like March in Minnesota!
Love all the cat photos! Keep them coming!
