Pickled Beets image

Pickled beets are considered one of the "7 sours" that are frequently referred to in Eastern European countries. Do you know the others? Sauerkraut, garlic dill pickles, pickled herring, pickled plums, horseradish and marinated cukes. Posted for the Zaar World Tour 2005 Eastern Europe. These need to set for 24 hours before eating.
