Sorry not really gaming related but I just thought people here might be open minded enough to figure out why we tolerate this worthless vegetable in the 21st Century.

One plant is the special emblem if Min, appearing on chests or stands near him, or carried by priests at his festivals, namely the long lettuce. This plant was supposed to assist the god - "the great of love" as he is called in a text from Edfu temple - perform the sexual act untiringly. This symbolism stems perhaps not so much from the vaguely phallic shape of the lettuce as it's milk-sap which would suggest the god's semen. Min is shown with the lettuce as early as Dynasty VI on the tax immunity decrees of Qift. Over 2000 years later the Roman emperor Augustus is shown offering lettuces to the god in the temple of Kalabsha.

Likely texture I think. If its crisp. Other mix of leaves are better in salad or anywhere else. Like imo Iceberg is worthless. Then again in a salad it is just there to be mostly water so your mouth gets tired after eating so much that you think you have consumed a lot of food but it is low in calories.

Cut romaine lettuce in half, brush the sides with olive oil/garlic/salt, put it on the grill. Best vegetables ever!

It's an almost unimaginably complex living thing, consisting of billions of individual cells all living their own small lives, but in aggregate making up an entirely new form. It has evolved over billions of years of fighting for survival against other species, and came out on top of all its rivals. You then tear it out of the ground and eat its slowly decaying corpse.

Lettuce just detracts from everything. Iceberg has just enough flavour to make things worse and is the reason I thought salads were inherently poo poo for a long time. It turns out that if you switch it out for a better leaf, everything improves, but nobody ever tells you that. gently caress lettuce.

contrapants posted:Its primary weapon in its fight for survival is its blandness. Really you're pretty hosed as a vegetable when humans are around. Lettuce tries to stay under the radar and gets stuffed into a sandwich, onions and chilis develop irritants and they end up right next to it. You can't win this unless you're actively poisonous and even then someone will boil you until you aren't anymore.

Wedge salads are approximately the laziest loving thing ever. About the only thing they have going for them is that they usually default to coming with a blue cheese dressing instead of loving ranch, but the chances of getting a decent blue cheese dressing out of your typical steakhouse is effectively zero.

You can do a pretty good wedge salad by doing a quick egg white wash on the outside and grilling it! Disclaimer: I've yet to do the egg wash, but grilling is nice and I think it'd help.

SubG posted:Yeah, the way I do a wedge salad I use an egg too. I don't use a grill though, I just use a hot pan, and add the egg after I've removed it from the heat so it's just carryover heat, so it's cooked but stays smooth. I also don't use bacon bits or whatever the gently caress, but some chunks of nice pancetta or something, with just a little minced garlic. And instead of blue cheese dressing I use pecorino or p-reggiano grated real fine on a microplane. And instead of the iceberg lettuce I substitute some nice cooked pasta, like spaghetti. It's really the best wedge salad. This sounds so much better than typical wedge salad that if I were to order it at a restaurant, it shouldn't even be in the same section of the menu.

Maybe gamers would like lettuces more if they could get "Extreme Ranch Romaine" or "Nacho Blasted Iceberg?"

Sometimes, when I'm drunk, I'll eat a head of iceberg lettuce because it's crunchy. Otherwise, there are better leafy things to eat.

I don't mind lettuce too much; it adds a nice bit of crunch, moisture and body to a sandwich without adding lots of calories, has good nutritional value, and has a mild enough flavor to not overpower anything else. Iceberg lettuce is still poo poo, however, and isn't really lettuce as far as I'm concerned.
