Sugar Beats for Dinner

[Bed Wetter]

You stopped by the house tonight and brought a gift: a sugar beat picked up off the shoulder of the road. Like any good host, You cleaned it and I diced it, tossed in olive oil with a dash of salt and pepper, baked for 30 minutes at 350.

Verdict: sugar beats are delicious table fair. Kind of a cross between a red beat and a potato. Less mess than a traditional beat and very sweet. I think cut into fries and deep fried would be out of this world. Even baked, it browned a little bit and carmelized itself.

So when you see those beats on the side of the road either toss them back on the pile or eat em!

I put them in my deer bait deer love them and they last longer then the corn

Eat one raw and you will have the sugar rush of a life time. Its how I would stay awake while hauling them down by Wahpeton when I was in college.

I recently noticed in stores the soda is saying made with real sugar. It's about time they stop poisoning us with that chemically made high fructose corn syrup. Your supporting agriculture with either product so lets support the one that doesn't make you gut hang over your belt like a plastic bag full of jello.

I have always wondered why they never made ethanol with them, I assume economics.

Thats an idea!!! Anyone wanna send me a few seeds for next year?

 

[Bed Wetter]

You suggested we collect all we can find from the ditches and make sugar beat moonshine. I'm in agreement.

 

[Lycanthrope]

Anyone on here have a 'still'?

Beet wine isn't too shabby.

Guywhosfancy, I think wine would be a waste of excellent ditch fruit. But then again I don't hunt with a poodle.

I'd take a good slug of beet wine.
