Back in the 80s I bought frozen spinach from the A&P and it was full of plastic bits that look like what they make motherboard and chipsets out of now.
I think it was spinach from the future.
Back in the 70’s, we were pretty poor so Mom used to get canned vegetables a lot. I’ll never forget her opening a can of spinach one time, and there was a big fat caterpillar in it. Of course, it was dead, but still…so gross. I’ve never eaten canned spinach since that day, and truthfully, once I got on my own, I rarely eat any canned vegetables. I dislike them very much. Give me fresh if possible, and if not, frozen. I will eat canned beans some, well, and canned tomatoes like Rotel.
