Popeye would eat spinach cold straight out of the can. This was supposed to be a positive role model for kids (eat your veggies) but I hope it wasn't. Because spinach would make him super strong and unjustifiably violent ... it probably led to more steroid abuse than spinach eating.
I rather like spinach tho. You have to interleave it with onions or almonds of bits of meat so it doesn't turn into a gluggy mass.
I also used to like Aloo Palak, which is a spinach curry. I ate it too many times though, now it's a bit boring.
