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...
|
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...
|
Spinach is actually yummy, its good with salad, and if you boil it and put it on rice, it makes it really good.
|
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? |
.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 |
i just dont like the icky canned spinach. i like my spinach fresh and salad like.
|
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... |
I love it lol i also love cheese and spinach pie
|
my whole family loves it! i nvr eaten spinach canned 4 a while, so i dunno if i like it or not... lol.
|
Yeah canned spinach looks pretty suss.
I dont wan to eat 'fresh' vegetable out of a can.... Defeats the purpose of having 'fresh' vegetables... |
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. |
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 |
I just hate the taste. I can't speak for anyone else, but I hate it to death. It tastes horrible.
|
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 |
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. ^__^
|
I'm indifferent. :D But i dislike its taste sometimes... :D
|
I tried Spinach when I was younger, and I hated it.
It's one of those food I try to prevent myself from eating. |
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. |
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...
|
I have to eat it everyday, and I am getting tired of the taste
|
I guess people just hate the taste of spinach. I love spinach with pickles. That makes me herbivorous.
|
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... |
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:

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 |
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 |
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 . ^^
|
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. |
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.
|
ya. the salad way is great.
|
Most people don't hate spinach, they just hate Popeye.
|
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?

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.
|
I absolutely LOVE spinach in soups :p
|
I like spinach in pasta dishes. Otherwise I avoid it.

|
I like cooked spinach, raw spinach I could pass on but will eat
|
My absolute favorite food is spinach soup with egghalves, so count me out on the "hating" side =P |
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.
|
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? |
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.
|
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 Quote:

I like spinach, I just don't like it cooked. Matter of fact, I don't like any veggies or fruits cooked.
|
I never liked spinach. I hate the taste of it. >_>
|
spinach is one of my favorite things ever. along with turnips and radishes.
|
I always love having Fresh Spinach, and not those yucky canned products that most moms get these days. >.<
|
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. |
Actually I am a fan of spinach. Just not broccoli.
|
I like spinach. :O
Especially when its fresh. 8D |
eugh, god no. Hate fruit and veg anyway, so Spinach? Definate no.
|
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.
|
I like spinach, usually. Not my favorite food, but it's good.
|
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.
|
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!
|
Meh Spinach is ok but only if I can't eat around it. If I can, I will generally avoid it!
|
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. |
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. |
I don't like most vegetables, spinach is not an exception. ~_~ It only tastes good on pizza, imo.
