The secret of Popeye's strength

No, that's not grass, it is spinach.  Like lettuce it has two cotyledon leaves, but they are elongated.  But enough of this chit chat, let's get down to the meat of this post: I hated spinach when I was a kid.  The only way I ever saw it was canned--a slimy green mass that I was convinced was inedible no matter what it did for Popeye.  However, times change, and now I know about all the mysteries of life, like Spinach Quiche, and fresh spinach on a salad.   And the great irony, I have even ordered cooked spinach all by itself in a restaurant--and enjoyed it.  I mean--what's with that?
