hey! wats up with people hating spinach???
 
i dunno why people hate spinach! do u like spinach?? i love it! or do u hate it...

wolf December 20th, 2008 9:22 PM

I agree, why do people hate spinach? I love it! Even plain, but with Ranch it is very good! Also on Pizzas can make me drool! lol Well, maybe they hate it because it is a slightly unique taste...

Yu_&_Rei December 20th, 2008 9:23 PM

Spinach is actually yummy, its good with salad, and if you boil it and put it on rice, it makes it really good.

BakingBluePotatoe December 20th, 2008 9:24 PM

I love spinach! I don't understand why 3-9 year olds think they're "yucky" or something.. o.0

What's up with that?

Pechachu December 20th, 2008 9:27 PM

.3. I quite like spinach if it's cooked properly.

In a related topic, spinach was obviously made popular by Popeye. That's what got me liking it, and I recently found out that it was more or less a ploy by the US government to show people that tinned foods were good. Spinach rose to the third favourite meal for children in Popeye's peak. :3

bugbite250 December 20th, 2008 9:30 PM

i just dont like the icky canned spinach. i like my spinach fresh and salad like.

moments. December 20th, 2008 9:40 PM

Spinach is hated by people because of it's green colour and generally is assumed to be slimy.
I don't not like spinach, but if I can avoid having it, I generally will. If it is already in my food, I won't dig around it...

DinoPika December 20th, 2008 9:42 PM

I love it lol i also love cheese and spinach pie

bugbite250 December 20th, 2008 9:45 PM

my whole family loves it! i nvr eaten spinach canned 4 a while, so i dunno if i like it or not... lol.

moments. December 20th, 2008 9:53 PM

Yeah canned spinach looks pretty suss.
I dont wan to eat 'fresh' vegetable out of a can....
Defeats the purpose of having 'fresh' vegetables...

Tangerine Fox December 20th, 2008 10:05 PM

This is a little random. xD

But I like spinach, as well. I don't like it cooked or warm, but I dislike the majority of cooked vegetables. (Corn and green beans aside, they should stay cold and crisp!) I love salads, sandwiches, and wraps with spinach in them. I try to eat more now to keep my iron levels up, so the more I eat of it, the more I think I like it. =)

I never really disliked spinach all that much, but I actually was put off of it by Popeye and I can't remember exactly why. I guess because so many people acted like "oh, he's showing spinach can be good" translated into "if they need a cartoon to do that, it must not be all that good." Good job, younger me.

Tyrantrum December 20th, 2008 10:10 PM

I love Spinach! :D

Lol at my friend though.
He hates all fruits and vegetables(except carrots, somewhat).
Except, he tried spinach pizza once, and he liked it! :O

Guillermo December 20th, 2008 10:13 PM

I just hate the taste. I can't speak for anyone else, but I hate it to death. It tastes horrible.

moments. December 20th, 2008 10:14 PM

OMG.
My friend is very picky and he doesn't like any fruits or vegies either, but when he saw spinach he was like gagging, but he didn't mind it when he ate it.
I don't think he ever ate it again.. :P

Aurafire December 20th, 2008 10:24 PM

I'm not particularly a fan, but I haven't tried it in a while. It's just one of those vegetables that people are taught to hate even if they haven't even tried it. ^__^

⋚Raika⋚ December 20th, 2008 10:30 PM

I'm indifferent. :D But i dislike its taste sometimes... :D

Caelus December 20th, 2008 10:50 PM

I tried Spinach when I was younger, and I hated it.
It's one of those food I try to prevent myself from eating.

Lucy Lu December 21st, 2008 12:23 AM

I love spinach as well. I used to didn't like it when I was a kid. Well I tried the can one. That one is gross. But I tried the dried leafy kind, now that one is very good!

Well maybe kids think it is just plain nasty. If only they try the leafy kind.

moments. December 21st, 2008 12:52 AM

Well I think I am the opposite of some of you, I used to love it as a baby, but now I don't really want to eat it, but I will...

Idiot! December 21st, 2008 2:11 AM

I have to eat it everyday, and I am getting tired of the taste

ErickaVolt December 21st, 2008 4:52 AM

I guess people just hate the taste of spinach. I love spinach with pickles. That makes me herbivorous.

Legobricks December 21st, 2008 5:07 AM

Tastes like any other plant in my garden, much like how all green vegetables do — chlorophyll is not nice.

It actually has little nominal nutritional value anyway, mind you. I don't know where they got Popeye from...

Candy Christina December 21st, 2008 5:27 AM

I tried it once when I was younger and I got really sick after that for some reason. I never ate it again after that. I think either I'm somehow allergic to it or the taste was so... "unique," that I couldn't handle it. I think it was from the can though so... D:

Exactly the same way here. Although I don't think it's allergies.

I recently had some mixed with some other stuff that damped the strong taste so it was moderately good for the most part. But I still dislike it. :x

Roy G. Biv December 21st, 2008 5:41 AM

I think the little kids dislike it 'cause of the terrible rep it gets from TV shows and the like.

I can't stand it plain, but on pizza and is soups and salad it's tasty! <3

Lucy Lu December 21st, 2008 6:44 AM

Yeah I got to think about tv as well. They had Popeye, but I guess it helped in the older generation to eat spinach. The newer generation is seeing that spinach is just plain nasty. Popeye isn't needed. Yeah, good observation, Mr. Rainbow aka Roy and Cassino . ^^

True Reign December 21st, 2008 10:16 AM

If it comes with my meal, sure I will eat it, but other than that I won't eat it.

I don't really like it that much.

citizen. December 21st, 2008 10:56 AM

Bleck! Spinach! I think the reason people don't like it is because it looks just to gooey and mushy. But Spinach leaves are good...like in salads in stuff.

bugbite250 December 21st, 2008 11:12 AM

ya. the salad way is great.

Careful With That Axe, Pichu! December 21st, 2008 11:22 AM

Most people don't hate spinach, they just hate Popeye.

Gummy December 21st, 2008 12:13 PM

I don't mind spinach, seeing as a barely taste it in the dishes my Mom makes using it. Perhaps it's tastes bad by itself, but don't all vegetables?

really... i never knew that!

♣Gawain♣ December 21st, 2008 2:11 PM

Most kids think that anything green and somewhat gooey on their plate is yucky, that includes spinach. I've never tasted one before, and I might become a "Popeye" before you know it.

Virtual Chatot December 21st, 2008 2:14 PM

I absolutely LOVE spinach in soups :p

Thrace December 21st, 2008 4:32 PM

I like spinach in pasta dishes. Otherwise I avoid it.

so, do u like spinach or not?????????????

suicidesal December 22nd, 2008 2:16 PM

I like cooked spinach, raw spinach I could pass on but will eat

Candace December 22nd, 2008 8:22 PM

My absolute favorite food is spinach soup with egghalves, so count me out on the "hating" side =P


Jorah December 23rd, 2008 7:15 AM

The thing is, I've never actually tried spinach. It's just you hear so much how horrible it is, I can't bring myself to eat it.

Rogue planet December 23rd, 2008 7:30 AM

I'm not going to eat it on it's own but in a pasta or a pie or something similar I will eat it.
What's with the overuse of question marks?

Azzurra December 25th, 2008 11:07 PM

Eh, I can stand spinach, but I don't "love" it. They taste very bland however, so I don't eat them very much, but I wouldn't throw up if I had nothing else to eat.

Mooshykris January 4th, 2009 2:15 AM

I've never had it, so I can't say in seriousness.

But beyond that, of course I hate it! Why, it's fun to hate it! Everyone's supposed to hate Spinach! That's one of the rules of the world! :P

Gulpin January 4th, 2009 11:06 AM

I like spinach, I just don't like it cooked. Matter of fact, I don't like any veggies or fruits cooked.

Evilyn January 4th, 2009 11:16 AM

I never liked spinach. I hate the taste of it. >_>

cieux January 4th, 2009 12:05 PM

spinach is one of my favorite things ever. along with turnips and radishes.

Sushi. January 4th, 2009 12:35 PM

I always love having Fresh Spinach, and not those yucky canned products that most moms get these days. >.<

Capt. Couch January 4th, 2009 2:37 PM

I love spinach. Even raw spinach tastes great to me. I especially like it on my pizza, but having it on a burger, with veal, or even mixed in with a salad topped with a zesty Thousand Island or Greek dressing is very appetizing.

I gotta say though, it was probably how much I watched Popeye as a little kid that led me to like it. If it worked on an older generation, it can work on the new I guess.

Circus. January 4th, 2009 2:43 PM

Actually I am a fan of spinach. Just not broccoli.

bubblewrap January 4th, 2009 2:49 PM

I like spinach. :O
Especially when its fresh. 8D

Joey the Cockroach January 5th, 2009 2:56 AM

eugh, god no. Hate fruit and veg anyway, so Spinach? Definate no.

Belinda January 5th, 2009 7:29 AM

Spinach is not as great as you think,when I tasted it the first time it was disgusting. And hey people have different taste buds so.

Gary, the Magic Fairy January 5th, 2009 9:59 AM

I like spinach, usually. Not my favorite food, but it's good.

Sorano January 5th, 2009 12:26 PM

Personally, spinach disgusts me. :'D The only thing is tastes good on for me is pizza. I often don't like green foods.. they are just really unappealing to me for some reason. It's the same with white foods. I AM JUST PICKY K? K.

Gerri Shin January 5th, 2009 2:55 PM

so long as it's not cooked, I'm fine with it. I prefer it over cabbage and if it's mixed with a little bit of iceberg lettuce and Vidalia onions you have a great little salad going on there!

moments. January 5th, 2009 4:42 PM

Meh Spinach is ok but only if I can't eat around it. If I can, I will generally avoid it!

>Feelings< January 5th, 2009 9:52 PM

Why would I hate Spinach? I love it!
Though it depends on how it's cooked, to what level it has been cooked, and sometimes on who cooks it.

basselope7 January 9th, 2009 12:25 PM

I like raw or creamed spinach. Also if cooked spinach isn't creamed I just mix butter, ranch, and mayonnaise and make my own cream.

Spinach on or in things is good too, like spinach pizza, spinach pastries, spinach-artichoke dip (one of my favorite spinach dishes :D), spinach quiche, etc.

But cooked spinach without cream? Blecch.

Beelzebub January 9th, 2009 12:54 PM

I don't like most vegetables, spinach is not an exception. ~_~ It only tastes good on pizza, imo.
