Also known as Lamb's Lettuce, mâche lettuce is a delicate and tender lettuce that has a tangy, nutty flavour. It comes in small clusters, with smooth, green leaves, and makes a great substitute for either arugula or baby spinach in salad dishes.
Sometimes known as Corn Salad, lamb's lettuce has long spoon-shaped dark leaves and a distinctive, tangy flavour. It is used raw in salads as well as steamed and served as a vegetable. The unusual name reputedly comes from the lettuce's resemblance to the size and shape of a lamb's tongue.
Sow lambs' lettuce seeds on moist soil or compost from spring to summer, covering the seed with a light layer of compost. In cooler months, cover the growing area with a cloche to aid germination and growth.2. . . . .364011235862!]
