So if you like beets by all means grow and eat them -- I love 'em! But when I am cooking for other people, I leave them out or cook and serve them separately so that those who dislike them can avoid them. They roast up wonderfully in the oven like other root vegetables and winter squash, but for guests I serve those separately in the dish so people can take the ones they like.
I'm, unfortunately, one of those that abhors the taste of beets. I've tried them a handful of times, prepared in a variety of ways, but I always feel like I'm munching on mud. It's odd it's just beets, since I love parsnips, turnips, radishes, etc. I may try one last time to grow my own and see if that makes a difference.
