When my brother was 7 or so, he decided that Popeye had it right, and he began demanding canned spinach from mom. Mom knew he'd hate it, but after so much pestering, she finally bought a can and served it to him.
Of course, he hated it.
Me? I never cared for spinach the way it used to be prepared (canned or frozen, and cooked to death), and frankly never knew that spinach could (SHOULD) be eaten raw. Seriously - never ever saw or ate it raw as a kid, I guess people just didn't know better back in the day. (?) As an adult, I've remedied that little problem - I LOVE fresh spinach in a salad and eat it often. Still can't take the cooked stuff, though.
