Beetroot is a naturally occurring Precious Thing and ancient Slavic god-plant believed to have its origins on the coal barges of long ago. It is reputed to have many medicinal, magical, managerial and confusing properties, and was originally used as a primitive type of ceremonial lipstick (see Palin) believed to empower the wearer with invisibility (in men) and chocolate immunity (in women).

History

In common with all root vegetables, beetroot fell out of the sky in 653 BC. Before this it had successfully remained a closely guarded secret of the people of the mountain village of High Asakite, somewhere in the middle of the world. Then one day, a Guardian of the Temple of Heaps was pulling a Vner-Vnor full of sacred beetroots up the mountain when the padding collapsed and the beetroots escaped, pouring down the mountain, bouncing off things as they went, and ending up all over the world.

The global beetroot explosion had terrible consequences for the colour of things. The sky in America (or what would become America after the Reptiloids left) turned an intolerable shade of puce, a paler and more nauseating dilution of the darker puce which smothered the Middle East and parts of New Zealand with tendrils of near-doom. Suddenness was everywhere as people ran about screaming for their lives, and dogs began to eat each other. The Loch Ness Monster resigned, plunging the world into a huge confusing war which lasted until everyone forgot about it and embraced a fondness for baking light, fluffy, deliciously moist sponge cakes with imaginatively iced toppings, culminating in the appointment of Mr Kipling in 1937.
