We went to a family gathering over the weekend, a nice pot luck
spread with lots of yummies like devilled eggs, potato salad, meat
and cheese, and croissants. Our hostess also served dish of pickled
beets. After lunch, as we were putting the leftovers away, she asked
me if I liked them. "No", I replied, "I don't eat dirt chunks". She
seemed puzzled, I don't think she got the connection. I noticed that
no one else ate them either...
