Now a true Jeopardy question would have been: Before spinach was the first commercially successful frozen vegetable, what vegetable did Clarence Birdseye first freeze?

Ken Jennings might get this one.

Missed it. I thought it was peas which, according to this link was the first commercially available frozen vegetables in the UK.

This link has a neat story about how Clarence Birdseye was inspired to invent frozen food but does not say what he froze first.

https://www.funtrivia.com/askft/Question97828.html says Birdseye began by freezing cabbage as a test to see if it would work.
