Can anyone tell a cabbage apart from a lettuce? Or I put cabbage in my sandwhich!

[mAdD INDIAN]

After waiting in line for 3 hours at the Costco job fair interview, I finally got home. Being quite hungry I made myself a chicken sandwich. Now usually I don't bother looking for lettuce to put on it, but this time I did. I found what appeared to be a ball of lettuce. Took out a few leaves and put it on my sandwhich. After taking a few bites, I realized the lettuce tasted funny, but I couldn't place my finger on it. I figured it was cause I used the outside leaves instead of the inner ones.

Then while picking up my mom from work, I asked her about it. Turns out I put cabbage on my sandwich, rather than lettuce! Of course, mom and various family members are pointing out my incompetence! Luckily, I'm used to that

So anyway, can you guys tell the difference between a "ball" of lettuce or cabbage? If so, how??

 

[Ameesh]

are you stupid? of course we can tell the difference between cabbage and lettuce! lol

the texture, taste, and smell are oviously different.

 

[aolj]

Yeah! Lettuce is not that hard.

Cabbage is crunchier. And doesn't taste good eaten raw. Ack.

 

[WinkOsmosis]

For Christ's sake!!

Yes to the first question.

I'm talking about telling the difference by JUST LOOKING AT IT. If they are sitting side-by-side in the fridge, can you tell the difference between them?

 

[ElFenix]

yes, i can tell the difference.

cole slaw on sandwiches is really good, btw.

No because pears have a different shape compared to apples.

I'll assume that was intentional...



Yes, cabbage is much different from lettuce in appearance...

 

[amnesiac]

Yes. Cabbage is tightly rolled, denser, and harder than lettuce.
the leaves "snap" at any point you bend them, unlike lettuce which only has the crunch at the stalks of the leaves.

Needless to say, if you can't tell the difference, you need to eat more vegetables.

And for heaven's sake stay out of the kitchen. We don't want you screwing anything else up.

edit. I saw the pics Tyler posted. I'm a dumbass. I confused cabbage with lettuce. I know wat lettuce looks like but I Think i had a brain fart or somethign.

Again, I concede that I am a dumbass.

 

[Looney]

Of course i can... they're completely different textures.

 

[fatkorean]

That picture is a type of lettuce.. but you might of confused iceburg lettuce with cabbage. Yes they are both round, but the cabbage is thicker and whiter and has bigger leaf veins on it.

Yes! That's what I'm thinking off! Cause we had that kind back in Nigeria, and I remember picking those fresh from the farm-type shop (you pick your own produce).

 

[BooGiMaN]

isnt this something you should have learned like watchign sesame street or mr. rogers!


actually being a nerd and geek you should build a scanner just for this purpose...

 

[Isla]

LOL!

[dethman]

I tried. Apparently I complicate things in the kitchen so I'm not of much use there.

I try though, I try....
