I love beetroot, marmite, sprouts and parsnips, but my favourite thing is Avocado!
When I was pregnant I would eat them with just vinegar in the little well left by the stone, and brown bread and butter.
I like to mash them and spread them on a nice slice of granary bread or a roll, instead of butter or spread and then add ham, or smoked salmon, or cold cooked salmon etc.

Yummy.

Love beetroot. Like it cooked and sliced then in vinegar. Also like it in Borsch soup and even like it grated and raw in salad.

Love marmite.....especially on hot buttered toast.

Roast parsnips are great.

I hate anything aniseed and also really dislike drinking coke. I'd rather have a glass of water!
Hate liquorice too.

I like most food but beetroot is particularly great.
The trouble is in our house that if I put freshly boiled ones in the fridge for a later meal...they somehow disappear.

Avocado....don't like the texture.

I can't stand fried eggs with a leathery bottom.....seems to be a speciality of O.H if ever he cooks them. Why does he have to turn the heat up so high?

Love beetroot, went to a russian birthday party last night, had "fish in blankets (or fur)", it was tiny fish, covered in fresh boiled grated beetroot and potatoe with a tiny amount of onion as well. I dont normally eat fish, but that was delicious! Told by host it takes 8 hours to prepare (boiling beet etc) so only made on special occasions.
