John Evelyn's Salad Sermon #9 Spinach

John returns to his scatological ways again this month and while he likes spinach he does not welcome it in a salad.

Of old and not used in sallets, and the oftner kept out the better.  But boiled to a pulp is a most excellent condiment butter, vinegar or limon.  Tis laxative and emollient and therefore profitable for the aged.  

Expect The Veg Men to be delivering to a nursing home near you very soon.
