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.
Spinach in the states has been THE vegetable for at least the last 20 years.

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.
"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.

I yam what I yam!
You are a veg? Or one of those fake ones that eats fish and chicken?
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.
