She had never had or heard of it.

The 'aroma' is a genetic thing. Only about 50% of the population are blessed with it...

The ability to detect it the aroma is I believe the genetic element.

Chargrilled in an omelette or risotto or old skool steamed with a little hollandaise for me.

hate the stuff. Even if it's cooked in a dish and then removed from my portion, the rest of my meal is completely ruined. The taste permeates everything.

Yuck.

I've got a dozen spears already out the ground.
Can't wait to eat them.
Prob raw straight out the ground.
Yum!
(And yes, mine smells)

Ha! I was recommended to drink beetroot juice to lower blood pressure. Imagine my horror on glancing at the bowl following the morning communion with the porcelain throne! Terror doesn't even come close to describing it. I thought I'd shat internal organs.

Beetroot soup for the first time made me call my wife in a panic.
My 4 year old loves the red wee afterwards. The poo still worries me
