Tastes great, very few calories to speak of and keeps you going. Bet 'cha didn't know this: "Butter (Boston)lettuce contains lactucarium which has effects similar to those of opium. Because of its sedative properties, it is recommended for treating insomnia, intestinal spasms and palpitations. It is said that the emperor Domitian "tortured" his guests at banquets by serving them a head of lettuce at the beginning of the meal. Not allowed to nod off in front of his imperial majesty, they were forced to fight off their sleepiness for hours." Fiendishly clever that Domitian dude. |
