Interesting. The foliage has to be handled carefully; the
sap is toxic.
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsnip#Toxicity>

That probably increases the cost to handle them, plus there's
less demand for them, which depresses the supply and raises
the price.

They are not appreciably expensive here, perhaps we eat more of them.
I didn't know the foliage was toxic, when I grew them for years, I
would pull them up by the foliage then slice the top off, leaving them
in the veggie bed. I guess what you don't know, won't hurt.

I have never liked them and no matter how many times someone tries to make
them one way or another with the "you'll like them this way" etc., I still
don't like them, I also can't stand beets. DH likes both so I occasionally
make one or the other for him.

My wife will eat most things, but she detests beets. I can take them or
leave them but never used to cook them because she disliked them so
intensely. As a result, our son never had them here. I was surprised
to learn a couple years ago that he loves pickled beets.

I did get my wife to try beets a couple years ago when I tried a recipe
for a salad with roasted beets with Bibb lettuce and blue cheese. She
enjoyed it enough to actually make the same salad a few weeks later....
but that was the end of beets for her.

When I worked in a cannery, tending a beet julienne machine, I told
the cook-room forman, "I hate beets!". He said 'nada', walked over to
the temp-reduction shower and grabbed a 'warm' no. 10 can of pickled
beets. He opened it and gave me a beet slice. I've loved 'em ever
since.

> for a salad with roasted beets with Bibb lettuce and blue cheese.

Pickled beets and blue cheese dressing, a classic pairing.

So much for me sending either of you one one my nice sweet potato
pies for christmas. They contain all the sugar and twice the
spice! :-D

When I make a couple in a few weeks, I can always send a blurry

I like sweet potatoes, but only when roasted in their jackets.... I
don't like all those other sweetened concoctions.

Correct Cheri. Don't you hate when someone insists that, "You
don't like them, you should try mine." Lol

Funny too that you mentioned beets. I've never liked them. When I
was a kid my mom occasionally served us heated up canned beets.
YUK! I've never had fresh beets cooked as it doesn't appeal to
me.

My last beets were in the 1960's. Just a few months ago here, we
all talked about them so I thought I would give them another try
after 100 years or so. I should have tried a fresh one or two.
Didn't though..instead, I bought a jar of "Aunt Nellie's" Sweet
and sour Harvard Beets."

These things have been in my fridge unopened for maybe 6 months.
Since I'm talking about it now, I am about to open that jar just
to see what I think.

- no kidding, I'm about to open the jar and taste....

-ok...last time I ate a beet of any kind was about 50 years ago.
Grabbing one out of the jar right now...

- hmmmm. Well, I don't hate them. I might even eat more at
another time but I can certainly say, I'll never buy more.

I wonder if I could incorporate these things into some other
recipe.

Yes, it's the same thing with fruit cake with citron. I do not like it, but
people keep saying..."oh, you'll love mine." No, I won't love it unless you
leave the citron out, but I will re-gift it to someone who will like it.
Beets always have a dirt taste to them, same way with cilantro and tasting
like soap, dunno why. I think you could incorporate one slice at a time into
something with the beets finely chopped maybe.

So can we conclude that if you eat beets the commies may kill you? OMG,
