If I can be so bold to cheat a bit on the beets, one of my favourite menu items at Cru Restaurant here in Vancouver dresses beets with truffle vinaigrette, then pairs them and crispy shallots with...

...smoked albacore tuna. :wub:

Edited to say that by "cheat" I mean that the beets aren't pickled.

Pineapple!

Should I be obscure? Pineapple and beetroot are traditional hamburger fillings in Australia.

SO pickled BEETROOT (or BEETS) as you all seem to call them.

Nobody EVER posts the same time as me! Early morning Monday for you?

That's forgivable. I forget that in most of the world, beets are consumed fresh and not pickled most of the time.

Aye, it certainly is EARLY morning Monday for me (and a fair shake colder here than it is where you live!). Chalk it up to insomnia. :rolleyes:

of course parmesan is so fabuloso with silky supple pasta or al dente creamy risotto, but my favourite way with parmesan is cut into big shattery chunks of shards, for dessert, with PEARS.

PEARS!

Mmmm... eggplant is one of the main ingredients in ratatouille which gives you a whole host of choices for the next ingredient.

Zucchini, tomatoes, mushrooms: take your pick!

A Cajun style restaurant I used to frequent in the 80's used to serve deep fried Zucchini wedges dusted with Powdered Confectioner's Sugar. (Perhaps it was the influence of too many hurricanes and Pimm's cups, but damn, those were gooood.)

Hmmm...I like the powdered sugary goodness of turkish delight and it's maiden flavouring...

cashews (kaju burfi can be called cashew fudge, and is

often tinged with rosewater)....
