Update: In a stroke of genius, Rob realized that I was leading everyone astray; my objets d’affection are in fact Lebanese pickled turnips, flavoured with beet juice. Twenty days is a long time to wait before I know if this recipe is any good, but these are the sacrifices we make in a time of perpetual war against an ill-defined enemy with unspecified success conditions.
