[spathiphyllum]

Ur thoughts? I think if it wasn't too hard it's be nice if it was steamed for a while then pizzad

[woofgang]

Rockrose, surely BLT includes lettuce.
On a pizza?

[ummmm]

Lettuce is nice cooked.

[Rockrose]

Yes it does but the lettuce was added afterwards so it was cold and crisp with a big blob of mayo in the middle.
But as Ummm says lettuce is lovely cooked or wilted.

Nooooo, ya canna cook lettuce!!!!!

[ummmm]

You can. Baby gem lettuce is really nice char grilled.

That's like saying you can boil Cornflakes and they're still yummy.

Nooo, lettuce is a salad food, eaten raw with dressing.

Ya can't cook a salad!!!!

[Hopkirk]

Ozzy talks sense

[spathiphyllum]

Peppers are salad food also though ;)

The steamed broccoli and spinach was lovely.

[ummmm]

You can. Have you never cooked a tomato?

Spinach is not that different to lettuce and we cook that all the time. You can make celery soup (yuk) but it is a thing, for weirdos :-)

[Rockrose]

Lettuce soup is lovely

[1ozzy]

I give up.

Many vegetables can be cooked in a variety of ways or served raw in a salad.

Lettuce isn't one of them.

Lettuce = 95.63 g of water per 100 g..

Char grill a cup of water ;-))

To be fair, i was once served a grilled lettuce with a beef burger and i was very disappointed. At the time i though who on earth grills lettuce, it tasted not good.

[1ozzy]

//it tasted not good.//

We agree on something Spath ;-))

ps: For a moment I thought my youngest son (22) had joined AB.

"Lettuce = 95.63 g of water per 100 g.."
Cooking is still bound to improve it. For lettuce the ,'orrible bit is about 4% the taste and about 96% the texture. Think about it, no more leafy feeling stuff in your mouth because it's wilted until it's unrecognisable as such. But still easier just to leave it out.

There is a classic French recipe for braised peas with lettuce. It's very nice.
I made it years ago, I should do it again.
