Beets get a bum rap. While the mere mention of beets often conjures up images of Dr. Zhivago (at best) or, more likely, scratching out a subsistence living while you and your fellow peasants stoop and dodge the Cossacks running roughshod, beets are a tasty and versatile root vegetable. Yes, beets are a common item. However, some of the best dining comes from new interpretations of rustic classics. The latest issue (Sept 2009) of Bon Appetit has a great article called "Molto Americano" where classic Italian dishes are being reinvented and get an American influence. Not Olive-Garden style Americanizing, but a cross-cultural nod to an old-world standard. An antipasti of beautiful roasted beets with a rich mustard cream will be attempted very soon in my kitchen. One only needs to heed the siren song of the Go-Gos to achieve beetitude:

“All the kids just getting out of school
They can’t wait to hang out and be cool
Hang around ’til quarter after twelve
That’s when they fall in line

They got the beets, they got the beets
They got the beets, yeah they got the beet!”

Most sound delicious and easy to toss into a meal or snack anytime of the week. That’s an excellent list that is not predictable like in many of the “superfoods” articles I have stumbled upon.
