What pisses YOU off in life? (the beetroot poll)

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Is beetroot edible?

No. Period.

Yes! It can be made into delicious summer soups, for example.

Depends. If I had to choose between that and starvation, I might put up with it.

1. Old people that clog up the public transport with their free passes
2. Students
3. The annoying little s**t that advertises Knorr stock pots
4. Technology that I don't understand - which is most of it
5. Esther Rantzen
6. Politicians and their selfish attitude to what is meant to be public service
7. The way most modern music sounds crap
8. The fact that stereos don't sound as good as you thought they would do. In general lack of size seems more important than increase quality
9. The inability to reconcile that on the one hand a huge amount of the population want to be on TV as presenters etc yet there is so much crap and so many crap presenters on TV

- I have a zero tolerance policy for corrinder, it is vile, putrid and tastes like a noxious weed (not unlike the nettle, which clearly needs to be explored further and erradicated, perhaps through some sort of anti-nettle collective utilising community-based task-force style commandos, it will be the last thing they are expecting).

- Why say 'pan seared'? I mean, am I unreasonable to assume my (eg) beef fillet has been seared in a pan by default - or is it possible it was seared by a low-flying jet engine...

- Mocktails. I mean, seriously, wtf?

...oh I love beetroot by the way - roasted with garlic, rosemary, orange juice and balsamic with sour cream and crusty bread, nom nom indeed.

The guy across the street that's so nosy he even has to come and blatantly look over my shoulder, just to see what I'm getting, when I'm at the ice cream van buying my daughter an ice cream.
He wasn't even getting himself anything, he just walked over, had a good look at what i was getting then walked away :evil: :eek:
I don't doubt and I don't take direction....

Middle aged women with kids in the car, diving around like lunatics - why are they so ANGRY? It's like "oh my life didn't turn out like it should have, I feel unfulfilled and must take it out on everyone who gets IN MY WAY"

Oh, and the people at work who, when I said I was going to a Sisters gig in NZ, said they sound like
a) The Mighty Boosh
b) Bowie
c) Meatloaf.

I agree with all of that.

I have never tried Pfälzer Saumagen, the name alone is gutwrenching... :urff:

Actually there is one dish with beetroot that I love - Labskaus, some sort of sailor food, but I hear it exists in Liverpool, too. The best thing though, if you prepare it correctly, is that you can just leave the beetroot away. And the pickled fish. And then it's nice ;D
