I don't know about the metallic taste.
But the astringent, harsh taste of spinach is believed to be related to calcium oxalate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxalate#Occurrence_in_nature).

Some nutritionists say the secret is to eat small amounts of everything and constantly vary what you eat.
Ummnn, I wonder if different ice cream flavors could be considered different types of food...  ;)

sounds like good advice. That way your never bored with what you eat.
