Beets
Poor beets, they are so often on the top of people's "I hate ...." lists. Since beets are not very typical in Japan, my first beet experience was when I had a wonderful Borscht at a fancy Russian restaurant in Tokyo a long time ago. When I came to the U.S., I realized so many people hate beets (my husband is one of them) and I was wondering why. Then when I went to an old style cafeteria which was my grandmother in-law's favorite, I found out why. The beets were boiled down until very mushy and piled in a heated buffet bowl inside a red sea. Even I would become a beets-hater.
It is hard to get rid of the child food memories. But I want to create a wonderful beet dish to make a beet-hater rethink the value of beets. In short - I am determined to make my husband love beets.
