What you are describing IS a beet. We just call them red beet around here. I've eat them sometimes. They tend to have a slightly sweet taste just as corn. The red color of the beet is very prominent are even used to make food coloring.

I think you are talking about Radishes
There's nothing quite like a beet, so I'm thinking you may have just had a variation of beets (maybe a smaller, sweeter beet).
Sure sounds like beets.
Possibly rhubarb or maybe turnips since you said they look like beets. I don't care for them but alot of people like them.
maybe red okra or baby red potatoes if not maybe one of these there are some hybrids you might confuse

Could be an Adirondack potato , you are talking red flesh, I believe I got some at Trader Joe's....not a cheap potato, very different, corn... does kind of describe flavor
Beets come in several colors now from almost white, yellow, pink, orange/red. My guess is that you had one of those varieties. A stall at a farmer's market I visit in summer carries them.
Beetroot.
it's probably a pineapple
Sounds like red turnip to me.. get some red turnip seeds from www.rareseeds.com and grow them and see if you
get what you have! If I remember correct red turnip seeds are called Chinese turnips! The only other thing I get think of that is deep red like beets is red tulip bulbs and they are edible and they do taste sorta like corn! These tulip bulbs also staff off the flu!
