My minhag is to use beetroot top (reddish stalk and leaves) for silka. I boil them first then sautee with chopped garlic just like spinach. Some people use swiss chard, cooking it in sweet and sour-ish tomato sauce. That's probably some people use spinach because of similarity but it's not really silka in English. Yehi ratzones for silka is "she-isalku", may our enemies be removed.

Yes, we eat spinach and say Sheyistalku Soneinu.
(We use spinach patties.)

I think it's an extra siman, optional unlike the main ones.

They are all optional. There is no halacha to do simanim, its a minhag. There are many people who do none, some do 1 or 2, some do 10.

Those are simanim too....
And as for who does them, we do, and we're "just" frum.
As for the spinach, we went to a family first night who did spinach (it was really yum) - but we don't do spinach.

All of those are simanim. Most people do some version of it, others do not. We are sefardic and do, apple in honey, spinach, leek, date, gourd, black eyed peas and fish heads.

We do beet leaves - silka, coming from the word selek which is beets, we make a soup with all the savory simanim ingredients in, pumpkin, beet leaves, leeks, wierd corgette type thing, beans, sheeps head. And the rest we have on the table, dates, pomegranite, apple, fish head etc etc. We are (well dh is) Moroccan, but I know many ashkenazi families in Israel who do the simanim, whereas when I lived in UK I had never heard of them.
