Mush.......any use?

[ClockworkOrange]

Sheeeesh, I'm getting boring in my old age, putting up a thread like this.

Anybody any ideas what the mush can be used for that is left behind after juicing vegetables etc?

Also, just wondered do you guys in the US (or anywhere else), eat beetroots, 'cos I absolutely love them used in my juicer, although I have to remember to check my mouth, the other day I got to work with a bright red mouth!

Cheers.

Hey Clock..

I have to drift for a moment as your mention of beetroot reminds me of an NZ ASB Bank commercial.

To make a long story short they have an American guy buying something in NZ & suddenly remembers "Drive on the Left, Steering wheel on the right, Beetroot on hamburgers"..

I think you have to see it to understand. Prior to moving to NZ i'd never heard of putting beetroot on hamburgers...

Drift over..back to regular programming..

Can you put the mush on your garden???

I loved the beetroot on hamburgers. MMmmmMMMM!

[bmccasland]

beets on hamburgers? Cooked or raw?

and what to do with the left-over mush - COMPOST! Coffee grounds, chopped vegie bits, onion skins - it all goes in my compost pile. And if you like to fish, it's a good source of nice fat worms for bait.

That's what I was going to suggest, compost it!

mmmmmm roasted beets! mmmmm pickled beets! Love them all! And they are different on burgers but good. I have had them when i stayed in Sydney and Melborn. Odd at first but I learned to like them. Now their beef tast different then ours. I had a hard time getting used to that! So I manily stuck with Pasta dishes and fish.

put the mush on your cereal -- great fiber!

Beef tastes different depending on what it fed on. A lot of the beef here is corn fed and it tastes different from free range beef.

Your beef down there (Australia, NZ) actually tastes like real cow meat. The majority of beef here in the US tastes like GMO corn, feedlots, hormones, antibiotics, and if you're lucky a little e. coli and salmonella sprinkled on top.

It just tasted different to me. a bit gamey ( not sure of the spelling)
You know some of our beef is not as free range as yours so it taste different. It's like being raised on vegemite. I just don't have a taste for it cause I was not brought up on it. Does that make any sence? I didn't say it tasted bad now just different. a lot of people i was with who were from the us said the same thing. Except for my friend from toronto. Hmmm intersting?

[crazycanuck]

I've not visited Canada for about 4 yrs so i've forgotten what beef there tastes like Buffalo i can remember..mmmm

BTW Dianyla when are you going to tell us aboot your NZ trip??? I wanna hear about what you thought of Auckland's traffic and if it was expensive?

Whoops, I've been so busy since I got back I've forgotten to even mention it! It's definitely a more expensive country to visit than, say, South America. But the exchange rate is still somewhat favorable to even the weak US dollar. It also gets really expensive when you wander into an Icebreaker store.

We barely spent much time in Auckland and took transit the whole time. So I'm actually sure what their traffic is like. We spent most of our time down in the south, around Fiordlands and the South Coast. The Milford Track was absolutely beautiful and we were very very lucky to have clear fine weather for 4 straight days. We went kayaking in Doubtful Sound a few days later and got nearly hypothermic in the cold pouring rain, but fortunately that was just a daytrip and I had a hot bath waiting for me at the end of the day. Took a road trip along the scenic southern coast area. Oh, and we ate a lot of beef, lamb, and venison. Yummy!! I don't want to even think about my cholesterol right now, though.

I'm still in the process of trying to sort through the few trip photos that we were able to recover. We made a backup of them onto a DVD disc so that we could delete them from our memory cards and keep taking more pics... and then we lost the DVD. So we lost at least half of the photos we took. The experiences are more important than the photos, anyway. But still... ouch!
