Way! Hated ut as a kid...love it now in all its incarnations (especially creamed).

,Nobody doesn't like Sara Lee, or spinach.

WAY. Occasionally in high school, I would skip whatever dinner I'd made for my sister's rugrats and just have a huge bowl of cooked spinach with a little salt and some lemon juice.

Way!

no way. Spinach makes my teeth hurt. I used that reason as a kid and still do today. Except for me my teeth hurt when it is cooked. As anadult I can eat some raw in a salad mixed with other greens or even cooked in something like spinach artichoke dip. But plain cooked spinach, no way!

@Cass--I too hate that raw-spinach feeling on one's teeth. I love the stuff in any other form, except creamed. Spinach omelettes, spinach quiche, eggs florentine, spinach pesto, just plain stir-fried spinach with olive oil and lemon, spinach enchiladas, spinach in lasagna.... Goodness, I sound like Bubba talking about shrimp. I'll stop now.

WAY! All different ways, all the time! Spinach always adds something to any meal I make whether Indian or Italian. I'll add it as a spur-of-the-moment extra --- but it always turns out delicious (to me anyways). I understand, though, why some are tired of it. However--- I must add that frozen spinach is a ridiculously good deal at the grocery store.

that weird feel on your teeth is caused by oxalic acid.

You can reduce oxalic acid by blanching raw spinach.

And personally, Way.

I think I'm actually related to Popeye because spinach is probably my favorite vegetable. I LOVE it steamed or right out of the frozen chopped package. I like it fresh as a salad. The only time I don't like to eat spinach is when it's creamed, but hey - that's not the spinach's fault, it's the cream's.

Chew on That

Way! Raw or cooked.

But not a big fan of frozen (although okay in some things) and not a fan of canned. Sorry, Popeye!

I'm glad I'm not the only one to experience that weird feeling in my mouth - at least with raw spinach.

Even as a child I loved spinach, whether canned, frozen, or fresh.

My two favorites are wilted spinach salad with the old-fashioned sweet and sour bacon dressing, and creamed spinach at any steak house - manna from heaven!

Definitely way. Defrosted some frozen chopped spinach last night with toasted pine nuts, garlic, olive oil, and crushed red pepper. Can't wait to eat the leftovers for lunch.

But what is with that awful dry feeling it leaves on my teeth? I feel like I'd eat it even more if I didn't have to put up with that.
