Beetroot Today

In these days of the credit crunch and mass hysteria, storing all your rubbish in the spare room and growing your own food on it is more important than ever, and this is where beetroot comes into its own. Mrs Beetroot’s Book of Beetroot Management (Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares, Β£132.78) is brimming with recipes written in code by Mrs Beetroot during her forced viewing of a performance of Handel’s Messiah by a cult she had joined by accident.

Classics such as Beetroot Fallout and the aptly named Lilac Recrimination, discovered accidentally by Large Hadron Collider scientists during an early escape attempt, are once again enjoying unbelievable popularity with a new breed of Green people who will happily sacrifice their third car and the au pair’s back to save our planet. .

Beetroot Fallout

Ingredients: 20 beetroots, 6 paper bags

Method: Several the beetroots, and place them into individual paper bags. Line the bags up on the work top, and shout at them until they wither. Tip beetroots into a large bowl and check them with a Geiger counter - they should only be slightly radioactive. Serve with deliberate slowness accompanied by a compote of tedium and frustration.

Lilac Recrimination

First take a copy of Laurie Lee’s Cider with Rosie to your nearest charity (thrift) shop and leave it there. While it’s away make up a quart of brine using a demi-bunce of vinegar, half a template of flaccid correction fluid and a furlong of grated aluminium. Add a quarter wheelbarrow of freshly tamed beetroots. Ignite.

enjoyEngland have launched their own unique scent called By George!

From an article on the enjoyEngland website:

β€œBy George! features a symphony of the nation’s most evocative smells in an eminently wearable fragrance. The heart of the fragrance takes a journey through an English seaside garden with salty sea air notes mingling with damp earth, garden mint, carrots and beetroots and freshly cut grass... β€œ

So Zaph, by rejecting beetroot, you are in fact, rejecting your heritage.

Had you been living in a less tolerant age you would probably be charged with treason and tortured. Shake Head
