Question for all you AU members.

[Shuley]

Relatively recently I went to a restaurant that was supposed to be NZ food.  I got a lamb burger that had beet root on it, so I was very excited to try that.  The question I had is what is the "typical" way that beets are served on burgers? Canned, roasted, fresh... Although I can't imagine fresh? 

I was slightly disappointed because I liked the combo and there were just teeny slivers of beet. However, they were extremely generous with the mint jelly..... Which is gross. 

 

Anyway I am looking forward to having beets on my burgers at home and was just wondering what the most typical route is? I think it's a fabulous combination.

Hey Shuley, we always typically get beetroot slices out of a can in burgers here.

Usually it’s a burger with the lot which includes beet and egg

You can cook your own fresh beet root .but I usually just buy the canned sliced ones tastes great

Haha true. But I would take canned beetroot in a burger over vegemite any day. I hope they don’t push me out of the country for saying that.

Well, that's not much of a concession; most anyone would take ANYTHING over Vegemite!

What?... no love for Vegemite, i grew up on it.

Here's how i loved it in the morning: on toast with butter, cut in half...wait for it, then i would dunk it in my coffee+milk, don't knock it till you try it 

Sorry OP, beetroot slices out of the can man here as well...while i'm at it try a slice of beet with your next tuna sandwich

So.... It was ok.  Not as good as tomato.

A quite normal reaction IMHO!

I saw this article and had to laugh after all my comments about beets.

I'm getting a little more accustomed to beets.  My hubby loves them but now I am starting to like them in salad.

I love pickled beets in a salad. Never tried them on a burger though.

Google must think that I am a big fan of beets now, because I keep getting articles pop up about them!

If you like them in a salad you will love them on a burger
