Stop eating iceburg. Lettuce has plenty of flavor. Also include other greens - escarole, arugula, endive, etc

>>4462329
it's like water in veggie form

>>4462351

just with an unpleasant texture and no nutritional value

>>4462351
Yeah guys water is so bad for you

I thought the same thing until I bought a head of Iceberg this weekend.
It's subtle flavor and crisp crunch kind of...turn me on.

>>4462373
This.

>>4462402

ROMAIN LETTUCE

= nutritional and crunchy tastey

>>4462373
it's got some minerals and vitamins yo, you just need to mix it up with other greens.
cool texture
strange nutty flavor

It is okay, just try it.

It makes your sandwich look bigger. That way you don't look as much like a sissy faggot when you pull out your little turkey sandwich at work. You can act like you are eating a sandwich the size of the bible even though all you can afford is a bunch of lettuce.

>>4462643

WOW has it ever occurred to you that some people actually enjoy lettuce?

you sound like the type of person who buys lots of guns and a massive gas guzzling car because they have insecure personalities.

just eat what you like and don't eat what you don't like. so much hate...

>>4462655
You're an ignorant fool.

>>4462655
You're not a clever man, are you?

>>4462655
>enjoy lettuce

lol I bet you mean iceberg lettuce too.

Lettuce is the most pedestrian of all leafy greens. At least use spinach.

>>4462617
>not enjoying a nice lettuce, cheese, crouton, and dressing salad
Pleb fatty salad detected.

iceberg is just crunchy nothingness to add "texture" to a burger

>>4462662
>>4462677
>>4462681

narrow-minded tools like you three are the worst part of /ck/.

some people actually enjoy iceberg lettuce in sandwiches and in salads. and it is a perfectly good food, certainly better than lots of things discussed every day on this board.

think BLT; one of the best simple sandwiches ever. if you don't like them fine, but try to open your punkin head a bit and understand that not all people are just like you.

They are known as fatties with under-developed tastebuds.

BEST LETTUCE

>>4462811

O'rly then why does taco bell exclusively use iceberg for their mass marked products that have sold billions of tacos?

>O'rly then why does taco bell exclusively use iceberg for their mass marked products that have sold billions of tacos?
I believe I already answered this question:

>They are known as fatties with under-developed tastebuds.

muh lettuce

>Crisphead – Better known as "iceberg" lettuce, the most popular lettuce in the US, this type is very heat-sensitive and was originally adapted for growth in the northern US. It ships well, but is low in flavor and nutritional content, being composed of even more water than other lettuce types.

lol

>>4462822

I believe I reject your answer...have you even tried iceberg with fire sauce?

>>4462844
Yes, a good first harvest iceberg leaf pairs well with Taco Bell Fire Sauce.

>>4462848

Well, I say...my good man; it is an honor and a privilege to meet another fine gentlemen on this distinguished board.

what is texture?

>>4462885
what is being 12?

>>4462887
that is incorrect.

the correct answer was "texture".

>>4462892

However, if one where to use the answer to the question within the question...was it ever really a question?

>>4462908
the question mark makes it a question.

this thread is proof that /ck/ is loaded with morons.

the people in the competition? they can cook. they are not in retarded threads like this one.

lol. who the fuck is in this thread, ARGUING ABOUT FUCKING ICEBERG LETTUCE?

my sides are going to sue this thread.

>>4462956

I have evidence that you had homosexual relations with your brother on Tuesday night at 8:53 pm?

>>4462972

STFU and get back in your fake little micro board competition thread where no one tastes shit and don't bother the rest of the regular /ck/ people...idiot.

>>4462983
I'm not sure.

GTFO and go back your little cubby hole of tripfagin shame thread.

>>4463052
Excuse me, dickface, I'm in the challenge, and I've never used my trip ANYwhere at anytime on any board, but there. And I'm a fucking greybeard. So you can fuck right off.

>>4463124

Go cram it up your tired, stretched out faggit corn hole with your geriatric beard. Also, no one cares because none of the idiots in the 'no tasting' challenge can cook for shit. That's why you have to build your own special little sand box to play in...now go back there before I catch something from your filthy ass.

>>4462329
>tasting like nothing
Get some real lettuce and tell me it tastes of nothing.

>>4463164
HA. Sure buddy. That's why you're sitting here on an anonymous cooking board bitching about other people who can cook. You fucking inbred cum swilling basement dwelling donkey licking fucking loser.

>>4463438


haha, my sides

>/ck/ nicest board ever

right now go back to your little girl's sand box before you get hurt.

>>4463447
There's no possible way you could hurt me. But thanks for playing.

>Decide lettuce is gay

IT'S JUST NOT THE SAME

>>4463488

pardon me sir, but didn't you get the hint this is a tripfag free zone

also, your opinion is invalid.

Lettuce isnt' about nutrition or flavor, its texture and color. Its a light refreshing bit of crunch inside of the sandwich. I like romaine myself but theres nothing wrong with a bit of iceberg in a sandwich or burger. It just complements things and gives it another textural dimension.

I don't know what you guys are going on about lettuce being "tasteless." It tastes like shit.

>>4463593
lol'd

but seriously i love lettuce. salads5ever

>>4463493
Spinach is better

I mainly use it for texture and structure when it comes to sandwich construction. I view the different kinds of lettuce as the different cuts of beef on a cow. Some you use for one kind of cooking and for a another you use for a different kind of cooking.

Lettuce is a tool of intimidation.

Buy a mid-sized head of iceberg lettuce. About the size of a grapefruit.
Proceed to eat it like an apple.
Act as if there's nothing unusual about this.
Congratulations, you're terrifying!

dont know but my peoples piss in your lettuce when we pick them

Lettuce does have a lot of flavor depending on what types. iceburg is apparently 90% water and as such as almost no flavor or nutritional value. However, Lettuce does have quite a bit of flavor, but it really depends on how sensitive you are to taste.

>>4463689
I do this with bell peppers. People give me a strange room for eating peppers that way, but it seems natural to me.

>>4463819
This. Bell peppers I split in half and remove the seeds. If they weren't so expensive (.69 per) I would prefer it over any other snack. It's refreshing. So are tomatoes once they're ripe and chilled.

>>4463689
thanks anon, i get the visual

most iceberg is never unwrapped before it goes bad in my fridge. Its not bad on stuff and I really like it with a non fat dressing. I'll keep buying it until I start loving it

>>4463759
>90% water

Most fruits and veggies have upwards +85-90% water. I think it's more about the strength of the flavors rather than the water content.

>>4463639
I love spinach man but it doesn't work as a substitute for lettuce.

>>4463502
>no trips
>tripfag

>>4463832
Stir fry it. I used to work at a Chinese restaurant and those stingy fuckers would stir fry loosely chopped wedges of iceberg.

Basically you heat the shit out of a wok, swirl some oil around, add garlic and ginger, add iceberg, flip it around a bit, then add oyster sauce, a little water, and some cornstarch. As soon as it tightens up, serve it with some sesame seeds on top.

Made me love iceberg, no kidding.

>>4462816

By that same logic the Twilight movies and Call of Duty are masterpieces.

>just eat what you like and don't eat what you don't like. so much hate...

I buy guns (and had I the money and time, would have "lots") and like lettuce.
You're a bigoted faggot for not letting me buy both because I want/like them without being judged.

>>4465343
Liberal "tolerance" bro. Embrace it or we will force you to.

>>4463639
It just doesn't fulfill the same role as lettuce. Lettuce has crunch and the right amount of give when you bite into it.

Spinach has more flavor but in a sandwich it has the unpleasant texture of tissue paper next to the other soft ingredients.

>>4465343

Hey /k/ fag, bigotry isn't judging someone for being what they are.

>someone who, as a result of their prejudices, treats other people with hatred, contempt, and intolerance on the basis of a person's race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, religion, language, socioeconomic status, or other status.

Judging someone for their own individual actions isn't it.
