The materiel is all paid for (primarily by Europe, I believe). It matters, of course, but it's not donations as I understand it.

Quote from: Zoupa on Today at 04:13:45 PMThe US can recognize anything it wants, it doesn't change the facts on the ground. Two weeks ago Trump was wanting to send tomahawks, asking Zelensky to strike Moscow. It's best not to focus too much on the imperial death throes in Washington. They've provided less than 1% of the aid Ukraine received in 2025, confirming their irrelevancy.

Materiel and financial.
US intelligence remains important. I don't think Europe can replicate us satelite coverage

From the description:
QuoteOur No. 1 Balsamic Beetroot & Walnut Tarts make a colourful and delicious festive main course. The crisp shortcrust pastry is filled with chunks of balsamic glazed beetroot and a creamy beetroot mix, topped with crunchy walnut and pumpkin seeds.

As I'm from Liverpool I absolutely love pickled beetroot (traditional accompaniment to scouse). But I think when I've prepared beetroot at home it's always been roasted.

It might be extremely Canadian 😆

Quote from: Josquius on Today at 05:17:40 PMWhat else would we call beetroot?

With carrot the leaves are pretty useless so I guess its not worth specifying you're eating the root.

You can eat carrot tops. Good in salad. As far as i know it's as common as eating beet greens. Unless you count chard as beet greens, but then you might as well count parsley as carrot tops since they're in the same family (or celery if you want to get really pedantic ) :D

Your Party is a pretty good name I think. Though yes. Funny to be in there along with our party.

And the greens have absolutely eaten their lunch. They're pointless.

I like my beetroot simple. Sliced thick and boiled. Goes great as a side to steak.

How is the beetroot in that thing apprĂȘtĂ©?

I never had beetroot that wasn't marinated or in a scone.
