For nearly two decades of my life I thought that iceberg was lettuce, lettuce was iceberg. I have to say that I've enjoyed the diversity the previously unknown varieties of greens have added to my dinner plate. As a side note, I think that they look tasty. Rich in colour usually means rich in taste. I remember when I first found out that ‘lettuce’ could mean more than iceberg lettuce.

'Gross' is groping for your bag in the cinema and coming in contact with a used condom. I realize beauty is in the eye of the beholder but I'll embrace variety and creative veggie expression over the supermarket status quo any day! Keep the multi-cultural rainbow growing, Mike! “Kinda gross”?! ‘Gross’ is groping for your bag in the cinema and coming in contact with a used condom.

I was reading that carrots have only been bred in the traditional orange colour in very recent times. Most carrots historically have been white, yellow, purple, red.. I bet they taste good too. My carrots did not germinate this Spring, I have heavy London clay soil. I think I must add some sand to try again. Those carrots look wonderful!

I'm always game for trying new veggie varieties but these just look kind of gross. Does the world really need a purple carrot? I don’t know, Mike. I’m always game for trying new veggie varieties
