We received a sugar beet as a gift of sorts from a friend (Kyle) who was driving a beet truck during the harvest. He assured us that there were many old Norwegian recipes that could be found online. So, we took the thing with the intention of serving it to him the next time he visited... Take note: the sugar beet is actually white beneath all the dirt. Have you ever seen one this clean??

Here's a stew recipe from East Friesland (Germany):

Then there's an Olio soup from an Austrian court kitchen:

So I hope you didn't waste that beautiful tuber. Bring one home at Thanksgiving and will try it out with the yams...
