I had no idea one of my favourite salads was so hardy and could be harvested for so long, will have to try and grow it myself. Good entry!<-- some say it's a loobrush, but it might be lettuce, might it not?

Thanks. And bravo to Lanza for a great subbing job (I'm sure I never added in those helpful footnotes!)

I've not seen any in the shops over here yet, so I'll probably be growing my own before long.

Excellent article, we thoroughly enjoyed it. Well done

Well, from hereabouts too. In olden days, the rich who made it a status symbol to eat only meat got scurvy - the poor peasants who had fresh greens (or sauerkraut) through the whole winter kept their teeth.
