My parents knew someone who drank the juice left in the beetroot jar when the contents were finished.

Never fear the person in question is still very much alive and kicking. ::):
It's just we haven't seen them for quite a long time.

Don't want to give cumbo any cause for concern.

There's almost certainly somewhere in the world where beetroot juice is distilled(?) into alcohol.

Eastern Europe I think and I also think it might be fermented rather than distilled but I'm not sure how I know that.
I've had Beetroot crisps and they are quite good.

I believe beetroot (juice?) is also used as a natural Viagra. 8O

That suggests you might have an interesting time lined up for your lunch break? :oops:
Beetroot is also full of antioxidants and free radicals.

A likely story.
In your case you should stop using the sandpaper.

Yes.
A kind of sweet and sour flavour. Very nice with sour cream in it.

I had a lovely evening with the Groover and his better half last night. A wee soirée in the Dowanhill with both me and Dave contributing to the racket.

Tonight I had a sweaty but productive rehearsal with my new band. Another rehearsal next Tuesday and a public rehearsal at Hootenannies next Thursday (to which you are all cordially invited) should see us road ready.
