I live in the SW and I grow lots of beetroot.

That's it really.

I am more interested in the fuel possibilities in general, but there have been one or to hiccups along the way. Cooking-wise I haven't gone much beyond pickling it. My best 'recipe tip' would be to eat pickled beetroot with cold boiled potatoes in a sandwich with mayonnaise and a lot of pepper.

My partner does however make some ferociously strong beetroot wine.

Did you know Beetroot is called Remolacha de mesa (sugar beet of the table) in Spain - well there you go.
