THANK YOU for posting this.  I thought I was the only one here with that opinion.  I can't even stand the smell of it.  And I hate how purple candies like Starbursts and Skittles are blackcurrant flavored. Yuck!

Some people might ask the same question about purple grape.

Beetroot is evil. >:D  I mean the canned or jarred kind.  Fresh beetroot is ok, especially when it turns the rest of your food purple!!

Beetroot's not evil!
Except the one time i heard a story about someone who did a poo and when they looked at it, it was PURPLE, and they thought it was blood and were all in a panic about it...

Later, they realised they'd eaten an inordinate amount of beetroot the previous night...  :-\\\\

I've always been a fan of salad with beets on it (especially with blue cheese dressing - it turns pink!).  As for blackcurrant, I guess it's just like everything else, not for everyone.  Personally I like it, although I didn't grow up with it and it can be at times too strong.  I like Ribena especially.

I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I don't know the answer.

When I was a kid, I loved the jarred borscht stuff you could get at the grocery.  Pickled beets in broth.  Mmm.....
