It's not what I wanted. I wanted fresh - one of my favourite vegetables. But I've learned here in China to make the best of any surprises that turns up. I can buy it fresh, but only online which involves a three day wait, minimum. I wanted it today! Yesterday, the local overpriced, state owned, department store's imported food section had this.
I bought it as an emergency stand-in, and I know what I'll do with it, but it has got me wondering.
How do other people use pickled beetroot? Any interesting suggestions?
P.S. Just ordered some fresh. The seller is in Shanghai which is far away. And the minimum order was for 2.5 kg. Expect beet overkill from me in the next week!
