Friday Flotsam XXXIX

you see a lot of fancy lettuce these days, at restaurants and at the grocery story.

mesclun

field greens

mixed greens

baby lettuces

 

then there are the component lettuces to these mixes.  arugula.  radicchio.  baby spinach.

least of these lettuces is frisee.  I fucking hate frisee. It is impossible to have nice manners when eating frisee.  It tickles my throat in an irritating way.  and it tastes bitter and evil.

 

here is a picture of my enemy

 

 

i'm not real big on beet greens, either.

 

now i must rush off to mediation.  big day.  stopping blogging. go work.  OK!

Frisee has a lame fucking name too. It's a 'b' away from being a frisbee! And a d-g-u-t-n-g from being DISGUSTING.

Well SOMEBODY had to come out and say it. I don't like how frisee puts balsamic dressing all over my chin and gives me pimples.

But it still beats the heck out of escarole.
