So far, we have seen no period recipes calling for beet roots--just 
one barely period comment by Gerard to the effect that someone ought 
to develop some good recipes for them. And we have seen lots of 
period references to beet greens as the part that is eaten--including 
Gerard.

We don't need to invoke scribal error yet.
