Green leaf lettuce?

[Kevin]

I try to refrain from posting in the competition forum so I ask this question here.
What is green leaf lettuce? This is a serious question. Here in Minnesota we have Iceberg lettuce, and then all of the other fru fru stuff in the produce section. I know this sounds dumb, but then so am I. I just need to know.

Actually iceburg lettuce is green leaf lettuce as well according to KCBS standards. It can't be red-tipped green leaf lettuce though. And no kale, endive, etc. that aren't considered lettuce.

Go to this web site there is a pic of both green leaf lettuce and red tipped green leaf lettuce.

Good example of each there.

Yeah, that's the stuff you want to use, not iceberg.

Thanks for the replies.

I would never use iceburg myself but I was just clarifying that iceburg technically (or not technically) is legal as well.

I appreciate and understand that Jeff. That is what I was asking.

I always referred to green leaf lettuce as "hippie lettuce" lol. Don't know why really but that's how I remember it. It's the stuff you get in a salad at a fancy restaraunt as opposed to iceberg in a salad from Pizza Hut.
