Me too! Only my aunt tried to do that. I have a real mental block to beets. When I was 38 weeks pregnant with my son 22 years ago, my husband and I stayed with her for a week waiting for the closing on our house. She served beets every single night and being the polite southern girl, I made myself eat those things. They are the only vegetable that I really have a hard time eating. I won't touch canned cranberry sauce either. However, there is this fabulous veg restaurant near me that grates them raw on salads. Really pretty, and I have to say the beets are OK served in this way.
