No leaf spinach here in the UAE, either. Actually, I can't even find fresh spinach most of the time here. Frustrating, since my favorite kind of salad requires spinach.

re: cans, yeah I've been wondering that, too. But I try not to have a lot of food at home (something about carrying cost of inventory... I really had a passion for my business school curriculum!), so I guess not being able to stack them is not the end of the world for me.
