Cogollos de Tudela. First type of lettuce I ever ate for pleasure. Love nearly all kinds now.

Cloudship, since you’re not particularly keen on vegetables, have you tried using salt to remove that zingy “green” bitterness from cucumber? There are lots of ways to do it, but the simplest is to just cut cucumber into slices, sprinkle with salt and leave for between 1 and 2 minutes. Then rinse and give the cucumber slices a little squeeze. Then dress as you would usually. I personally struggle with a mound of cucumber, but after using a bit of salt to leach them slightly, eating through big quantities becomes a joy.
