> 1 head Iceburg Lettuce, coarsley shrd


now, somewhere I learned that iceberg lettuce was developed in the early days
of the california mega-farm industry.  It was developed to be shipped east by
train in cars kept cool with huge chunks of ice. I'm pretty sure that butter
crunch and boston lettuce are recente developments as well.  What might be a
more period choice?  Romaine?  Endive?

Bonne
