agree

Kate Major Patience: This would certainly explain the contradiction "raw of plain cooked". The original just sounds so weird and wrong! :)

-> Thanks Kate.

agree

JPW (X): It seems to me either raw beetroot Iis that even edible?) OR plain (i.e. simply) cooked beetroot (=equally horrible...) Almost certainly a typing error.

-> Thanks John Paul. I can't see myself ever being hungry enough to try this recipe out.

agree

moken: I would imagine that "plain cooked" means without adding anything, not even salt (if it's boiled in water). :O)

18 mins

-> Thanks for the extra input Álvaro.

agree

Noni Gilbert Riley: Depends a bit how the recipe proceeds, doesn't it? But the typo theory sounds convincing.
