sounded very weird tday. In fact, I thought the lady that brought it in for lunch was pulling my leg. But it was true. I had a piece. Not bad.

Here's a recipe from:

Sounds weirdly tasty, Matt. Will give it a go.

I wasn't expecting much when I went to taste it. But the seasoning has a nice flavor and the charred lettuce provides a nice smokey "crunch".

Charred - oh, OK. Obviously it gets grilled more than I was expecting. Thanks for the hint. (NOTE to self, get extra beer to wash down darned charred lettuce. Darned stuff really soaks up liquids, wash thoroughly.)

JEM..this is a KEEPER!! I bet it would be good with baby Bok Choy also maybe even better!! I'd add a bit of sugar to it to make it sweet/sour like wilted lettuce! Thanks! Kahuna
