I seem to be the only person I know who finds it fine.  Charlotte has
never experienced spinach other than occasionally at the salad bar (it
doesn't last well so runs out within days of getting underway) and from
industrial sized cans.

A surprising number of Navy people tolerate it in the steam table
offerings but opt to put it in a coffee mug so it doesn't run all over
the plate.
