In fact, I saw a bunch of it up at Vinh Loi just a couple opf days ago. The recipe I was using was from Mai Pham's excellent Pleasures of the Vietnamese Table, and is a beef-and-sweet-potato curry, but there are other recipes in other Vietnamese cookbooks.

I have been trying to find vietnamese curry but haven't been able to yet. Can you tell me the ingredients in your vietnamese curry so I can try and make it from scratch? Thanks! Hi there!

Given that it's organic, it's slightly pricier - something like 1.79 EUR for 450g. Unfortunately, the only conventional spinach PLUS sells is "Rahmspinat" in those huge blocks.

You'll have to upgrade to a higher-priced kind, I'm afraid. I got mine in a kilo bag at Extra for €1.99 or so. They keep a long time, so it's worth it.

I buy it in a frozen block, roughly the size of maybe 3 CD's stacked on top of each other. It's about 40 cents for a block. I have never seen the cubes you describe. Would I find them at most any supermarket? Do they come in a plastic bag or in a cardboard box? Just to be clear: the frozen spinach.
