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.

Hello, I love beetroot too, but only seem to eat it with salads, unsure what else to put it in (other than roasting it). I havent tried growing it though.
