Imprecise quantities — or “how much is two bunches of spinach”

[skeptic7]

Some recipes try to be very accurate and precise, like cakes, others like bread have more variation, and mention direction like add flour until to form a soft dough.
However I have found a recipe in "Breads" by Henneberger for a Torta Rustica which calls for two bunches of spinach ( chard may be used instead ). How much spinach is in two bunches of spinach?
At a guess I would think its about 1 -1 1/4 lbs, or 4-6 cups. Any one have a better idea?

I did some quick searching and this issue has come up on other forums. It appears that a 'bunch' is the amount that can be comfortably held in one hand. 250 grams seems to be a good upper bounds.
