This must seem very odd to Americans given the contaminated spinach you've been enduring.

Ping!
Until the wild pigs decided to spread "eau de ecoli" all over it.LOL!
Actually spinach is my favourite salad veggie. Mix it with some walnuts, blue cheese, salt, pepper and some good olive oil and pomegranate balsamic vinegar, you'll be in heaven, I assure you.
The Greeks use spinich and feta cheese........mmmmm, good.
Spinich with strawberries and lemon dressing.....delicious!
Spinach over lasangne...the best.
MMmm, that sounds good. I like spinich souflee too.
Spinach in the states has been THE vegetable for at least the last 20 years.
Tet's mom's "Wilted Spinach Salad"
Spinach, cleaned and stemmed.
Bacon, fry as much as you like, drain, crumble.
Heat bacon grease and 1/3 cup vinegar fairly hot.
Pour over spinach, tossing as you go,
add bacon bits.
Mnnnnnnmmmmmmmmmm.
Spinach and Spam...
"I'm a vegetarian..."
I was in England and Holland a couple of times, years ago. It seemed to me neither could prepare beef properly. Not steak, not hamburgers.
So maybe you need to come out west, and see if a good steak or burger might make a convert out of you.
In moderation, of course.
I eat mostly chicken. However American beef and pork are much more lean than a few decades back. Hence more healthy.
Wife eats little meat, some fish. She is a healthfood type, along with her traditional Italian dietary background.
She is trying to help me shed some inches, by substituting fruit for my morning buttered toast.
So far okay. But I doubt that i have the genetic predisposition to "like" my veggies.
**Freeper Kitchen Ping**
I yam what I yam!
You are a veg? Or one of those fake ones that eats fish and chicken?
When I make veggie soup I always throw a handful of fresh spinach in the bowl before I ladle in the soup. It just wilts the spinach and is lovely.
I also have a yummy angel hair pasta that has spinach, mushrooms, and a sauce with lemon, cream and garlic. MMMMMM, even my grandkids like it.
Excellent!
Hey, I have always loved spinach. But then I like boiled okra and calf liver as well.
Don't eat to much spinach. It contains oxalic acid.

Too much can poison you. I'm not sure how much is too much, but I would be careful.
