I could only tell you what you didn't eat: something natural.

Something with beets?

I'm thinking some type of yogurt with pureed beets or maybe pomegranates but that should have been a little sweet. Tasting like raw eggs is throwing me.

Looks like sour cream and Pepto Bismal.

Just enough beets to color it and...mayo?

How do you know what raw eggs taste like?

That's tempera paint. It's got an egg base, and really dries with a nice finish. Though it seems kind of rude to set it out at a party.

It does seem to creep up the sides of the bowl, harden, and discolor, which indicates some sort of varnish and/or microbial content.

pig's blood and whipped lard slurry, with egg whites added for a creamy flavor.

Homemade mayo, colored with beet powder, that didn't quite "take" during emulsion and was quietly separating into oil/egg components.

This should have been posted on Questionland. Then I could upvote Chefgirl's answer.

This sounds crazy, but I'm Pennsylvania Dutch and we have a dish called red beet eggs. It's hard-boiled eggs pickled in beet juice. I wonder if it was some sort of puree of that?

Also, now that I think about it, doesn't that sound like a Molly Moon's ice cream flavor, red beet eggs?

LMAO @14. So true.

It's definitely some kind of beet mayo. It tastes like raw eggs because mayo is raw eggs. Pretty gross. Putting that crap out there unlabelled is a major party foul.

Just to refine what seems like the obvious answer, I suspect it was beet aioli, which is essentially mayonnaise.

Here in my adopted home of Australia, dips made with beet, or, to be more regionally accurate, beet root, are quite common. I was surprised to find that I really, really like them. But they're usually chunky, chopped beets, not puree like that. And I'm not a huge fan of aioli.

Uh-oh, @11 just got knocked off her perch by @19. Best answer!

Beets and mayo. My commiserations - I live in England, and even here we don't serve up things that look like that.

Just curious ... was the event an anti-vegan intervention?

I make a salad dressing that color using goat cheese and the juice from my grandmother's pickled beets. It tastes awesome. But unless you've been raiding my grandmother's pantry, that's not what you ate.

I was going to say 'bloody vomit' but there are no chunks of anything in there and that would have been gross, anyway.

Some really weird, overly blended Taramosalata?

It kind of looks like really pink poi..was it poi, maybe? If so, my condolences. Poi is gross.
