That's because my parents ALWAYS bought the stringy, slimy canned spinach.
That stuff made me gag. One time, I refused to eat it and mom said I couldn't leave the table until I did. Oh WOE! My grandmother was visiting and tried to help by putting jelly on it. That just made it worse!
Canned spinach is the most evil of canned vegetables! It should be banned!
However, I do love creamed spinach, fresh spinach, and spinach dip. I'll eat any spinach as long as it's NOT FROM A CAN!
Uhh, that goes for liver and onions to. Won't eat it, can't make me!
