Is lettuce necessary?

I've been thinking about this for a while now, and I can't seem to decide exactly how I feel about it.

.....is lettuce, as a food, really necessary? Now, I know what you're going to say--"of course it is--without lettuce, we wouldn't have salad". You're right. But let's take salads out of the equation. Salad aside, would you really care, or even notice, if there was no more lettuce? Even in a salad, lettuce isn't the star--it's just like, 'we have to put something in here to make a salad--how about lettuce?' It's the least important condiment on a hamburger, or a taco. I feel that lettuce really doesn't do much for food overall. It tastes of nothing, really. It's not as useless as capers, or green onions, or jimmies (sprinkles).....but I dunno....lettuce definitely doesn't seem very necessary to me. I mean, did you ever hear anyone go "Wow!--this lettuce is simply divine!!" ?

What do you think? Is lettuce unnecessary? Would your life really be much different in a world without lettuce?

Yes. It's great on Whoppers seeing as how they basically put an entire head on one!

Use good quality lettuces like watercress or arugula, you will know the difference.

Yeah, higher quality lettuce or vegetables in general make a huge difference. For instance, iceberg is basically water and cheap as shit in bulk, so that's what you get in a Whopper.

Romaine's probably my favorite, and I like that Chipotle uses romaine instead of iceberg. Their salads (w/ chicken) are great.

I think the only kind of lettuce I don't like is that Boston lettuce (or butter lettuce). I hate when I order a sandwich and it comes with a big floppy leaf of that stuff.

I like lettuce. Radishes aren't necessary.

I love Romaine.. lightly dressed with balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil and fresh parmesan cheese.

Know what goes well with the above romaine concoction?

My vegetable lasagna. That's what!

My vegetable lasagna is the best vegetable lasagna in the world. The finest, the most delicious, most incredible and delectable vegetable lasagna known to man. Never mind that I originally got it from the NYTimes ... it's mine now and people come from miles around and wait on long lines just to catch a glimpse of my signature dish.

This is not something you just slap together folks. This is an arduous, painstakingly long cooking adventure for which one must devote a couple days... so if you're looking for a quickie lasagna, lasagna made easy, 60 minute gourmet lasagna, lasagna for dummies... you're barking up the wrong tree. Go to someone else's house for that!
