Spinach is much better than sauerkraut.

You can find better ways to keep them healthy without feeding them disgusting spinach.

I like a mixed salad with spinach and lettuce. I’ve also tried a spinach omelette, which surprised me, I liked it.

I love both and also a bowl of nice hot beet greens with the tiny beets still attached. Pass the butter, please!

I admire her for sticking with it, it would be so much easier to throw some fast food in front of them but she cares about their health

Really, Grama. You could at least try to make it appetizing. Add macaroni and cheese, or eggs, or rice and beans, anything other than cooked spinach alone.

Today’s strip has been approved by Popeye the Sailor!

With as bad as my mom’s cooking was growing up, I’m amazed I wasn’t picky or fussy and will pretty much eat anything.

I hope that no one believes that spinach is healthy because it’s “high in iron.” That info was from faulty tests 50 years ago that misplaced a decimal point, but keeps being repeated.

Oh, as a Polish gal, I love sauerkraut (add a pinch of brown sugar), fresh homemade kielbasa with fresh horseradish on the side for dipping, and boiled and buttered potatoes! And please don’t forget the caraway rye bread and butter! Yum! Now that is a delicious meal! And if any leftover kielbasa, cut into “pennies” and quick fry with the leftover potatoes for breakfast in the morning! My Buscia (grandma) spoiled us with her homemade Polish cooking all the time. Even developed a love of pickled or creamed herring as a kid, too! Superb cook and baker and not one written recipe used!
