Beetroot. — Select a root and wash it carefully, so that the skin is not broken ; place it in a saucepan of warm water, and let it boil gently for an hour, if the root is very large, a little longer; beetroot is very nice served with roast joints or bacon. To serve it cold, skin the root and cut it up into slices, sprinkle salt on each layer when all is cut up. Pour over some French wine vinegar
