    I hate lettuce. I just don't see the point of it. I don't mind a bit of crunchy lettuce here and there, just a tad, say a small bit in a burger, or a small bit in a salad sandwich, but there's no room in life for more than a tiny leaf occasionally.

    You have to buy it, then wash it, then dry it, then use it before it goes brown.
    :)

    So, I don't buy it.

    Getting through a whole lettuce is soul destroying.

    Easy to dry with a salad spinner.

    And any lettuce left over I just chuck into one of my eclectic stir-fries! :rotfl:

    I love lettuce but grow all my own pretty much all year round. Have a 2x1m plot at the moment filled with all types. I just go out and put off a few leaves when I want them. If they bolt or the insects get them, I just dig up and put in the compost bin.

    I like mushrooms too, but don't grow those.

    I eat lots of nuts too, snack of choice.

    But despite all this I rarely get my five a day!

    If the goal's unreachable, move the goal posts.

    You're going for the wrong five a day ..... try: sweeties, crisps, pie, biscuits and cake.

    I remember reading there's a religion somewhere that bans the eating of lettuce (and the colour yellow).

    I need a wireless battery controlled speaker, so I can place it in the relevant corner, so it can only be heard when in "nuisance distance" :)
