In Praise of Lettuce.

I’ve only just realised how nice lettuce is. When I was a kid I thought it the most boring thing in the world. ‘Rabbit food,’ we called it. Well, rabbits aren’t so dumb then; they’ve got taste. You can have it with anything. I just had a lettuce sandwich, and it was fabulous. It’s crisp and fresh-tasting, and makes a crunching sound when you chew it. Lettuce, dear supremely interesting thing, where have you been all my life?
