A caution here. While lettuce is period, Iceberg lettuce isn't. A lot  
of folks are going to assume that Iceberg lettuce is what is being  
talking about unless you clarify this. Besides the other lettuces  
taste better, and are probably better for you, than Iceberg lettuce. :-)

Anyone interested in this might want to look at some of our previous  
discussions on lettuce.
