Sigh. I can't even begin to mention how depressed I am by the demonization of spinach. Lord knows there's enough local sources available, you would think that a restaurant could help one of those poor farmers out.
I admit it. I'm jonesin' for spinach. Chard is just not an acceptable substitution for me.
I don't understand this spinach nonsense... why can't we just buy the non-bagged "real spinach"? I can't all come from that one badbad spinach farm ...
I know I am a million miles away here in New Zealand, and we do not have the same spinach 'out break', on the bottom side of the planet, however I just wanted to showoff a little and tell the world that I only eat fresh - yep, I grown my own...

Okay. Am I the only one who thinks this ought to be "...WITH swiss chard"?
Right now, it's as if Mr. Chard (first name, Swiss, thankyaverahmuch) is doing the substituting.
Maybe I just need to lose this "grammar perfectionism" thing I have.

Hmm. In my opinion, chard is better than spinach, ANYWAY ;)

You can still use frozen and canned spinach, according to the FDA. Here is a link to their website.
