Up until the past year, I have loathed beets. The only way they were readily available to me as a child was pickled (the smell turned my stomach), and it took me a while to get over it. I finally saw some nice, fresh golden beets, and gave them a try. First I roasted them. They were ok, not stellar. But tonight, I tried grilling them, with salt, pepper, and olive oil, then drizzled them with honey and cinnamon. They were outstanding. Was there a food you kind of grew up with and hated, but after you had it prepared differently, you loved it?
