I just had to share this Amazon bit of wisdom.

Beets: The Ultimate Recipe Guide - Over 25 Healthy & Delicious Recipes


The Cube was the first thing to come to my mind when I saw this.

In perfect Kapitalist fashion it is on the "Free" list of Kindle books but there is a slight charge of course.

Beets and your mental health:

Beets contain betaine, the same substance that is used in certain treatments of depression. (listen carefully, comrades) They also contain trytophan, which relaxes the mind and creates a sense of well-being, similar to chocolate. (or Percocet!) Beets can also lower your blood pressure. (all the way to "0" if you eat too many) Eat beets for the Children's sake!

No wonder Dear Leader makes us live on beets!

And, if you happen to run out of beets, judging by the image some yummy kulak liver slices will do in a pinch!

Well, that will do for main course recipes, but what about sides?

There is Grilled Rats Bordeaux Style (Entrecote à la bordelaise):
Alcoholic rats inhabiting wine cellars are skinned and eviscerated, brushed with a thick sauce of olive oil and crushed shallots, and grilled over a fire of broken wine barrels.
Washed down with your choice of vodka ... from the bottle or a shot glass.

James McWilliams in his March 7, 2014 New York Times article: "Meat Makes the Planet Thirsty" advocates "reducing or, ideally, eliminating the consumption of animal products" because vegetables purportedly have a smaller "water footprint" than animals, but Comrade McWilliams does not cite data is on rat water footprints. McWilliams even promoted the eating of beets!:


"Beef turns out to have an overall water
footprint of roughly four million gallons per ton produced. By contrast, the
water footprint for “sugar crops” like sugar beets is about 52,000 gallons per
ton; for vegetables it's 85,000 gallons per ton; and for starchy roots it's
about 102,200 gallons per ton."

I myself have won over seven beets in our local collective's "Dialing for Beets" daily game show, and I can certify that, without exception, every one was exactly what you would expect from a beet.

Some commonly unknown facts about the beet:

Most beets are vulgar, as immortalized in their scientific name Beta vulgaris L. However, there are cultivated beets but they have limited genetic diversity.

Some beets have pet people.

The beet is a quadruped which lives in big rivers like the Amazon. It has two ears, a heart, a forehead, and a beak for eating honey. But it is provided with fins for swimming.

Beets are larger than frogs.

Beets are dangerous, so if you see one where people are swimming, you shout: Look out, there are beets!




Down at People's Karaoke, when we are not plotting our next bit of lyrical hooligamism, we sometimes sing tribute to this wonderoot

And the beets go on; the beets go on
Gums keep pounding a flava to the brain
La da da da dee; la dee dd dee da

Goloda was once the rage, uh huh
Comrade Square has turned the page, uh huh
Sewer rat's the latest thing, uh huh
Mixed with beets, our latest fling, uh, huh

And the beets go on; the beets go on
Gums keep pounding a flava to the brain
La de da de dee, la de da de daa

In treatment center we're confined, uh huh
Brutal guards still break our minds, uh huh
Inmates keep on shuffling out for borscht
Surreptitously, we check our bread for mold

And the beets go on; the beets go on
Gums keep sending a flava to the brain
La de da de dee; la de da de daa

Babooshkas beat our backs with their batons
Comrades begging guards for some smyetan*
Inmates tap on walls to have a chat
Groucho taps, "Hey comrade, can you spare a rat?"

And the beets go on; the beets go on
Gums keep pounding a flavor to the brain
La de da de dee; la de da de daah ....

*(A type of East European sour cream that is served with borscht)

I also prefer my beets with extra rat on the side.

Aye, me, I am sorry. Just Breakfast and dinner. The Beets in the middle of the day are not indeed a meal, but punishment to rectify our wrongdoings.
