Do you like spinach?

OlerudOwned Dec 03 2006 07:03 PM

Yes.

TheOldMole Dec 03 2006 07:39 PM

Yes. And my wife has converted my son-in-law to being a brussels sprouts lover.

Elster88 Dec 03 2006 07:43 PM

No

cooby Dec 03 2006 07:45 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Dec 03 2006 07:46 PM

Yes, and this sounds like a babyfood induced question

metirish Dec 03 2006 07:46 PM

I don't like it,Popeye does though Do you like spuds?

cooby Dec 03 2006 07:48 PM

I also like spuds. And I like Brussels sprouts. Do you like those things, and broccoli?

KC Dec 03 2006 08:15 PM

How could anyone not like spinach?

Rockin' Doc Dec 03 2006 08:30 PM

I like spinach as a green in salad, but once it's cooked, I don't like it very much.

Johnny Dickshot Dec 03 2006 08:35 PM

Spinach rocks. Baby hasn't had spinach yet. Today he had sweet potatoes for the first time. He appears to be a green bean man.

Frayed Knot Dec 03 2006 09:27 PM

Mmmmmmm ... ecoli I'm with Rockin Doc, don't understand why anyone wants to cook the damn stuff.

ScarletKnight41 Dec 03 2006 09:32 PM

I like spinach. I truly like creamed spinach.

Elster88 Dec 03 2006 09:47 PM

I've heard people rave about spinach dip. Never tried it.

Johnny Dickshot Dec 03 2006 09:57 PM

I like frozen spinach in those paper-covered bricks you get in the freezer. They retain the shape of the package through 4 minutes in the microwave, full blast. I then fluff em up with a fork, give em 3 more nuclear minutes, then eat the whole thing.

cooby Dec 03 2006 10:00 PM

Frozen vegetables taste so good! Have you ever thought about what canned spinach, like Popeye eats, would taste like? I don't think I would like that.

Elster88 Dec 03 2006 10:09 PM

How would it taste eating it through a pipe?

Tell it to Popeye not me.

MFS62 Dec 04 2006 07:27 AM

Maybe if you have it with a little Olive Oyl? Later

sharpie Dec 04 2006 08:54 AM

Spinach, brussels sprouts, it's all good.

soupcan Dec 04 2006 09:39 AM

Hi, thank you, yes, I'd like a Basil Haden Manhattan, up. I'd like a tomato and onion salad to start and then you can bring a plate of the Canadian bacon and a shrimp cocktail appetizer. For the main course I'd like the Porterhouse for two medium rare with creamed spinach and hash browns on the side. Desert will be a glass of Sambuca, a double espresso, some cheesecake and a big bowl of Schlag. Thank you. If I suffer from gout and die in my 50's it'll be worth it.

seawolf17 Dec 04 2006 10:07 AM

You people are grossing me out. Spinach is yicky. ="cooby"]Yes, and this sounds like a babyfood induced question MiniWolf really enjoys his spinach. We're determined not to let him become a picky eater like his dad. So far, so good; the kid eats everything in front of him. Including the dog. (Well, he's tried, anyway, but he just comes up with a mouthful of fur.)

TheOldMole Dec 04 2006 12:28 PM

That's a wonderful picture.

KC Dec 04 2006 03:03 PM

I got a hankerin' for a big plate of oysters florentine. Bastages, where the heck am I gonna get oysters florentine? I love spinach sauteed in slice garlic and olive oil - eat it all the time.

sharpie Dec 04 2006 03:29 PM

Only downside of spinach is you gotta wash it like there's no tomorrow.

Johnny Dickshot Dec 04 2006 03:52 PM

I also like beets. How about you?

KC Dec 04 2006 03:59 PM

Love beets too, one of my favorites. I like canned beets and pickled beets but I've taken to just buying a bunch and boiling 'em. Crappin' red is fun too. Beets and spinach are really good for you too.

Rockin' Doc Dec 04 2006 03:59 PM

I love beets. The wife doesn't though. A few times a year we have a meal where she fixes beets for me and spinach for herself. That way we're both happy.

soupcan Dec 04 2006 04:37 PM

I'll eat beets if they're in front of me - and they often are as the wife is a big fan - but I'd never request them. I like tomatos a whole lot but nobody else I know does.

sharpie Dec 04 2006 04:40 PM

I like beets a lot. I like tomatoes and so does everyone else I know. Soupcan and I run with different crowds.

KC Dec 04 2006 05:25 PM

About the only food I don't like is lima beans. Lima beans are just freakin' nasty.

sharpie Dec 04 2006 05:38 PM

I can deal with lima beans but they're not my favorite. A lima bean/Met story: it was the Mets/DBacks game where Joe McEwing was blasting Randy Johnson and the Mets won in a high-score game over the DBacks. Sitting in front of me was an Asian woman and her very young daughter. They were eating lima beans from a plastic container. At one point a Met got a big hit and the place went nuts. She turned to me and my friend and asked us please if we could be more quiet. What kind of person brings lima beans to a ballgame and then wants the volume turned down? We told her that no we couldn't be more quiet than the rest of the stadium was when something big happened. She and her daughter left before the end of the game to eat their lima beans in peace.

cooby Dec 04 2006 07:23 PM

Lima b eans have to be eaten a certain way. Don't waste your time on those canned things, the have to be frozen. Cook them just so the skin will slide off with your teeth, then chomp up the innards. There ya go KC, that will make your limas ediable. (cripes, one beer, 50 typos)

seawolf17 Dec 04 2006 08:09 PM

Beets I can't do. But tomatoes are a good time.

Rockin' Doc Dec 04 2006 10:19 PM

Tomatoes are fine cooked in food, as part of a salad, or when sliced on burgers or sandwiches. I can't just eat them though and sun dried tomaties are too much for me. Lima beans are awesome. Truthfully, I'll eat most vegetables. I just don't like cooked spinach, and I'm not too fond of cauliflower, but I can and will eat it. Okra is the other vegetable that is off limits to me. Cooked up in a gumbo is okay, but otherwise that stuff is just nasty.

cooby Dec 04 2006 10:37 PM

I love stewed tomatoes. Warmed up just a little Also little grape tomatoes, right off the bush. Maybe dipped in blue cheese dressing.
