Some tasty 18th century recipes have you roast, peel, and thinly slice the beets, then cook them with butter, garlic, & vinegar;  you can also make them into Pink Pancakes or biscuits, or a tart filling, by boiling, peeling, and mashing them, then mixing them with flour, sugar & cream ( and maybe some other stuff--haven't made this recipe for ages) to your desired sweetness.

  I do not know if the beet root they use on Aussie hamburgers are pickled or just plain old canned ones but they sell a lot of pickled beets up this way (Vermont), they never seemed like anything I would like to try but my step father loves them, I will stick to the plain canned ones (fresh are too messy). Also what are Harvard beets any way? My neighbor's husband buys beets at the store all the time and she says the kids will only touch them if they are made into Harvard beets.
