Beetroot everywhere

SIR – I agree with Louise Broughton (Letters, August 14) about chefs assuming what foods we love. I have loathed beetroot with a passion since an unfortunate incident at school.

I carefully choose food that I know I will like only to find this trendy vegetable ruining a perfectly good meal.

If it isn’t mentioned on the menu please don’t include it. Sylvia Smith
