double double toil and trouble

[melayneseahawk]

I have a pot of blood-colored liquid burbling along to itself on the stove, complete with strange noises and odd smells. *gleeful cackle*

(No, it's actually boiling beets, for making beet salad, but just because I'm out of eye of newt doesn't mean I can't pretend.)

I have to summon my courage and give beets a try one of these days. I know I didn't like them as a child, but I have no memory of what they actually taste like, and I'm constantly adding things to my Good Stuff list that I turned my nose up at in the distant past.

Is there anything you would compare their taste to? *does handwave* Even remotely? :-)
