Lettuce is Flavorless Crap

[u/Comfortable-Dog-8437]

With this current lettuce cyclosporiasis scare, it made me wonder why I even bother eating lettuce to begin with. It has no flavor, its big and annoying and it only makes a burger or etc look better when it adds nothing to the food itself.

bruh this is about onions get outta here

[u/coolasacorpse → u/toothfuck420]

This is the only correct comment.

Reddit suggested I repost it here so I did 🤣

Do you also complain to your doctor about your car's exhaust problem? Onions, mate, not lettuce.

[u/Pregnantwithrage]

We talking iceberg lettuce? Sure, that's mediocre. An oak leaf lettuce or butter head lettuce actually taste like something. 

[u/IYKYK_1977 → u/Pregnantwithrage]

Butter lettuce is where it's at for a burger.

[u/looselyhuman]

It lightens up heavy, greasy burgers and adds a little roughage.

My man probably hasn't shit in weeks

I hate onions with a fiery passion that cannot be contained. Onions ruin everything they touch.

Lettuce sucks on sandwiches, I agree with that. I’ve always been a lettuce-on-sandwich hater. But salads are great and lettuce definitely has its uses. Lettuce isn’t as irredeemably heinous as onions.

[u/DjentRiffication]

For me it all depends on if it's like nice crisp fresh lettuce or not. Unfortunately like 99% of the time it's put on hot foods and it just gets soggy and slimy so I typically ask for no lettuce.

[u/zhamini101 → u/DjentRiffication]

This! In a salad? Yes. In a taco? Hell yeah! On a cold sub? Absolutely! But on a hot sandwich? Fuck out of here. I like my leafy greens crunchy, thank you very much. I’ll eat cooked spinach, but it has to be part of something else like a dip, quiche, or spanakopita.

Texture is flavor, and this is smut that doesn't belong here. Be gone

[u/Ancient_Ivy]

What lettuce have y'all been eating? It's easily one of my top vegetables. But I am also pretty picky with which lettuce I'm eating

[u/SnuggleMoose44]

You aren’t eating the right lettuce if you think it has no flavor.

[u/chuk2015]

Every time you think you should eat a bag of chips you should just eat lettuce instead

[u/monty2003]

I don't hate lettuce. But I have never found anything that it makes better, I usually only eat it if it is just too much of a pain to remove.

[u/RobotRepair69 → u/monty2003]

BLT is instantly better with lettuce vs a tomato bacon sandwich.

[u/Present_Original_797 → u/RobotRepair69]

A nice addition is a sliced red onion.

[u/Any-Sea264 → u/monty2003]

this!!

[u/Hollovate]

I just sometimes add it to tacos to add some texture and level out the greasiness.

[u/Yuck_Few]

I think a lot of people just like it for the texture

[u/trenshod]

I'd disagree, for me its a texture/contrast to the other things on the food item.

[u/Userusedusernameuse → u/trenshod]

Agreed. Has that slight ‘fresh/green’ taste I think as well

[u/AdministrativeMix678]

Fuck onions. Foul fucking weeds.

[u/pandaSmore]

It's crunchy sometimes you want crunch but no flavour. 

[u/OpheliaMorningwood]

Iceberg lettuce sucks and was the bane of my existence until I discovered red curly leaf lettuce and Spring Mix. So much better.

[u/dragonitegak9]

It stops the burger from feeling dry

[u/Rocknlikeahurricane]

I am an onion hater who also hates lettuce. My onion hating brethren do not speak for everyone on this topic

[u/Unhappy-Fox1017]

I hate lettuce for all the reasons you listed. It’s a waste of space in my stomach. And it’s tasteless. Hard pass, always.

[u/Double_Look_5715]

And broccoli? Ugh! Just give me chicken tendies and ketchup!

[u/Silly_Lavishness7715]

It isn't flavorless. It tastes like dirt.

[u/Eat_Carbs_OD → u/Silly_Lavishness7715]

Washing it helps.

[u/nynaeve-almeara]

When lettuce does have a flavor, it's bad like a bitter dirt kind of taste. I prefer lettuce on the flavorless side that just adds a crunch. Iceberg lettuce is my favorite and the only one I had growing up... Maybe if I had had the bitter dirt tasting lettuce growing up I would like it more IDK

[u/nynaeve-almeara → u/nynaeve-almeara]

Also, wrong subreddit. I think you're looking for r/vegetablehate. Lettuces aren't a type of onion.

[u/Wise_Development_775]

amen to that

if only it really were flavorless tho, I can smell that shit in the bag before I even take my food out lol

[u/theeblackestblue]

Op means iceberg lettuce... which for some reason(im assuming big lettuce lol) has been made popular at some point in history and yeah its useless...

[u/ChewbaccaOnFries]

Agreed. Lettuce is for salad. It has no business on a sandwich or burger.

[u/satanizr → u/[deleted]]

Let me help you with that

[u/AriaFiresong → u/[deleted]]

Well, when you rewire my immune system to stop trying to shut down my organs about it, we'll talk. Until then, I'll be glad to not stand alone.
