I like it in a salad, but usually not so much if it is exclusively
spinach. I prefer it mixed with other greens. I don't care much for
cooked spinach because it develops a nastiness when overcooked, which
does not take much with spinach. My wife does a pretty good job on it
with her method. She puts a pot on the burner, rinses the spinach in
running water, shakes it off, rinses and shakes it again, then rinses
and tosses it into the hot pot without rinsing and put the top and cooks
it for one minute. Then she stirs it and dishes it up. It is almost
good that way.

I have had several people tell me that deep fried spinach is good. It is
just thrown into the fryer for a short time. I will have to take their
word for it. I am not going to waste my very limited consumption of deep
fried food on spinach.
