Cos Lettuce

Dear Mr Trivia,

I am a recent convert to lettuce for health reasons. I eat a lot of Red Coral and Green Coral and quite a bit of Cos, but as yet have not been able to return to my childhood staple, Iceberg Lettuce. Is Iceberg simply something to be left behind from my infant days like Farley's rusks, the Slinky and my cap gun or should I give it another go?

Cheers,

Dear New Vego,

Iceberg is under-rated exactly for the reasons you describe, we had too much of it as kids. However, your own creativity can bring, let's say it - MAGIC - to this rather mundane, watery leaf. Not Unicorn magic, perhaps, but culinary magic, at least.

Give the Iceberg another shot, because soon enough, the only kind of Iceberg you will find, will be the lettuce.

Regards,

Mr Trivia
