It turned out the muck was just regular cream coloured pink with the same malodorous beet blood you describe. Eeeurgh! <br /><br />True beet fact: what makes beet blood red is almost exactly the same molecule that makes human blood red: hemoglobin. The beet version is called leghemoglobin, and it has the same function for the vile beet as it does for the noble human, namely carrying oxygen. Something to ponder the next time you watch beet juice drip from someone's mouth while they eat. Not my mouth, though. Eeeurgh.
