Spinach Leaf Beet

[chadspad]

Is this the same thing as Swiss Chard does anyone know please? It looks similar altho tastes different - Im not keen on either particularly but the Swiss has no real taste whereas the Spinach tastes like earth lol.

Sorry put this in wrong section!

I always thought that they were the same thing!

They look similar but aren't the same thing.

To me Swiss chard is the one that tastes earthy, especially the stalks, whilst the leaves really taste of nothing.

Spinach Beet (or perpetual spinach) has a mild spinachy taste.

Guess it's chacun a son gout (each to their own taste, Nev!).

Shred the chard leaves. Fry off some pork fat in a heavy iron frying pan, throw in some diced bacon and brown. Turn the heat down and sweat a sliced onion for a few minutes, then throw in a teaspoon of caraway seeds and the chard. Mix thoroughly, turn the heat right down and put a lid on the pan. Leave for about 10-12 minutes, then stir and serve.

Now I'm hungry again!
