I had to look it up, not familiar with it either. I saw some sort of reference to lamb's lettuce and corn salad but I don't know what that is, either. Was wondering if it was related to the plant Valerian, the roots of which are used in herbal medicine?
Sorry, here is! Valerianella locusta - Wikipedia

I like the looks of it, if I saw it in a market I would buy it. It's pretty and light looking!

We keep Romaine hearts in the fridge. George's fave. It works well in a salad and on a sandwich. I like mixed spring greens and any of the leafy lettuce. I have not done much in the garden for the last couple of years. Leaf lettuce was always a fall crop for me. Lettuce, cabbage, spinach, mustard greens, turnups and beets are all fall crops in my region. They cannot take our hot, humid summers.
I suggest for sure!
Ah! 'Lamb's lettuce' is how its known in the UK. I like it too.

I have no favorite lettuce and flip flop around, preferring to have a changing variety of lettuce, often on salads, or layered in sandwiches for the most part.
Never heard of that and Google doesn't show any results. What type of lettuce is it? Thousand island dressing I have heard of.

I was brought up on iceberg too. As soon as i found out about lettuce that had flavor, i never looked back. For salads I would prefer something more colorful but if someone put iceberg in front of me I wouldn't turn up my nose.
