/dev/null Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I was eating a sub this afternoon with big giant leafy lettuce on it that I ended up taking off. Then I wondered, what is the point of lettuce anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 cool, crisp contrast to the sub. Contrasts and textures bring out flavors. As succinctly as I can put it, what is a BLT without lettuce? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I never bother with lettuce when getting a sub made, useless vegetable, it's mostly water anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 cool, crisp contrast to the sub. Contrasts and textures bring out flavors. As succinctly as I can put it, what is a BLT without lettuce? A better sandwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrags Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Depends on the sub I'm eating. Big fan of shredded lettuce on certain subs. Steak, BBQ chicken finger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree if you're talking about all of those awful designer lettuce leaves they have nowadays (rocket etc).....but traditional iceberg lettuce, Yum!

Beerball Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I was eating a sub this afternoon with big giant leafy lettuce on it that I ended up taking off. Then I wondered, what is the point of lettuce anyway? I eat salads nearly every day, until there is a lettuce substitute I need those leafy greens.

Gugny Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Um... a BT? And if you add onion, would it be a Bachman Turner Overdrive ? cheese maybe, but not mayo, i will ask for avocado instead of mayo a lot of times How does an avocado take the place of a condiment? Lettuce among other veggies is kind of like drano for your GI tract Indeed. I enjoy lettuce for the texture and the extra roughage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 and you refer to yourself as chef? What's being a chef have to do with preferring a bacon and tomato sandwich over a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich?? And I usually order all my sandwiches sans lettuce. And if you add onion, would it be a Bachman Turner Overdrive ? So close but it was caught at the warning track. It would have been a home run had you just said BTO. Us old farts would have gotten it.

Maury Ballstein Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) the point of lettuce especially shredded lettuce is tacos. taco's wouldn't exist without the lettuce and that would not be great. were talking traditional beef cheese lettuce taco. lettuce is also needed for cheesesteaks/burgers/most varieties of chicken sandwiches in my world.
