Whenever we go to the farmers' market we make a point to stop
at this one booth that has good spinach. Not like baby spinach
that disappears the instant it hits heat. I thought it was some
kind of spinach you don't normally see in the stores.

So today the sign doesn't just say spinach. It says
Spinach malabar. Hmmm. Go home and look it up.

All these years buying these people's special spinach and it's
not even spinach. (laugh) What a rube.

I used to grow spinach mustard greens, mustard that looked like spinach, it was good.

Sounds good to me. I haven't tried any greens that I don't
like, so far. And sauteed with garlic and olive oil isn't too
hard to take, either.

I don't dislike kale. I am not crazy about cooked spinach. I am not
likely to eat Swiss chard again.

I've had sauteed kale (from chopped frozen) and made kale chips.
I like it.

I'm sure there exists some that I wouldn't like.

I tried Kale and it's sort of ok but I don't look for it. I don't like
Turnip or collard greens. Just now for me, but then I have a very
*small* list of foods I don't like.

I think spinach, beet greens and swiss chard are related.

Beet greens and chard are very related. I thought spinach wasn't.
Although Tasmanians call chard spinach and call spinach English
spinach. Or something.

Spinach is a very water hungry vegetable to grow.

That's why hydroponically grown baby spinach grows so well!

Only kale, mustard greens, collard greens and turnip greens are cruciferous which means they have important health benefits.

1896, reub, from shortened form of masc. proper name Reuben (q.v.), which is attested from 1804 as a conventional type of name for a country man.

Hick, yokel, bumpkin, rustic.
