Well, I've never cooked it for feast, but I can guarantee that Margali, Rob,
and I plan on a bunch apiece, that's 1 pound, each, for dinner. Now, I'll
admit, most people don't like it as much as we do, but I can't really see a
pound of cooked spinach being enough for more that two people, three, maybe,
if one of them hates it and won't eat it.

If used as a salad green, you can use it as you would any green, but once
cooked, it really does almost vanish.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
cat.

Never a horse that cain't be rode,
And never a rider who cain't be throwed....
