When I was a teen-ager, a bunch of us ( including a guy who later became my brother-in-law) used to hop a freight train in town and ride out in the country to pick blueberries. Brough them home and Mom made a pie. Most delicious pies ever made. I'm 81 so guess the berries did it. As to spinach, had a prenup agreement that if wife ever served me spinach I would immediately see a lawyer. After all the d___weed is full of oxalic acid which is a very potent poison. My grandmother used to make elderberry wine. There are 2 elderberry wines one from floweers and one from the fruit. Sooooooooooo this old rat will go for the elderberries, blueberries and strawberries and leave the spinach for Popeye.
