This is the most damning thing I have ever heard about Northern Europe, the fact that they eat, and bemoan the shortage of, iceberg lettuce.

Now if they were to complain about Romaine lettuce (or, as I like to call it, "lettuce"), then I'd be able to see their point of view.

Iceberg is mostly a ranch conveyance. Just spooning dressing into your mouth would be uncouth so you put some healthy salad under it.

Lettuce 'black market' emerges amid national salad shortage On Thursday Tesco and Morrisons launched a crackdown to prevent customers from buying more than three Spanish-grown iceberg lettuces at a time in a bid to preserve stock. But the ban has led to markets and causal sellers taking advantage of desperate salad fans by flogging them salad and vegetables for up to 10 times the usual price. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/02/03/lettuce-black-market-emerges-amid-national-salad-shortage/ That's that. edit : https://twitter.com/Parveen_Comms/status/827453856149864449?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

Teenager Arrested For Selling Lettuce to Desperate Vegans on Hove Street Corner Paul Hayes, of London Road, was detained at 11.30pm after an anonymous tip off from the general public led the police to Grand Avenue where they discovered Mr Hayes ‘serving up’ to a large queue of vegans and health conscious Hove mums. A subsequent search of the suspect’s car revealed courgettes, aubergines and traces of broccoli. https://brightonbulletin.com/2017/0...k&ICID=ref_fark
