Dragonqueen, I keep on meaning to try Borscht, but end up making other things instead. I must though. One day. When I’m out of milk and risotto rice!

Santra, what a good idea to dress them with horseraddish.

Phil all you need to do is look for purple slug-poo and you’ll know the answer!

Let us know what effect the frosts have, Kelli.

Aphra.

We still have a few left picked and a few in the ground. Don’t know if frost turns them to mush or makes them taste nicer (like parsnips). Will find out next time I head down to the end of the garden…

For quite some years we had beetroots in our vegetable garden – this year skipped them and have just recently bought some instead.

Borsjtj, russian beetroot soup, will be today’s dinner. Quite handy to make a largish amount and the freeze the left over in dinner sized bowls.

Never tried beetrootst with white sauce though.
