It's not supposed to be. My wife grows arugula in our tiny back yard,
and it's very peppery and pleasant tasting in a mixed salad.

A local northern Italian restaurant offers a sald of arugula and shaved
parmesano reggiano that is just excellent.

Our local beer haven makes a thin-crust pizza with brie, arugula, duck
confit, and a drizzle of balsamic that is to * die* for. I have never
eaten a meal in that place without ordering one of those pizzas ...
