Why do people eat roast chicken instead of fried? Or sliced breast meat instead of a drumstick. Or plain bread when there’s toast. That something is made with an ingredient in common doesn’t mean its the same thing....

the spinach and sauteed it till it was just a little less done than I wanted it to be, stirred in a little vinegar, turned off the heat and put a lid on it. Then I made the gravy, took the potatoes out of the oven, sliced the...
