the much maligned iceberg
May. 26th, 2009 09:09 amHere's yet another article to share: http://www.saveur.com/article/Our-Favorite-Foods/The-Ice-Queen
I've personally always liked iceberg lettuce. My friend Judy taught me to eat chunks of it to provide a contrasting crisp freshness to the greasy goodness of pizza. I'll admit to loving the wedge salad and while I've bought into the myth that iceberg lettuce is totally nutritionally-deprived, I think I may have to start using it again.
(This is also partially motivated by the fact that I just had some wild field mix that was oddly and unpleasantly grassy tasting. Bleh.)
On another green note, Swiss chard season's here and it is GOOD!
