My wife prefers "baby" arugola, widely available in the stores here,
often more available than regular arugola. The baby stuff tastes better
to me, although both kinds taste like roadside-picked weeds. I don't
mind it so much that I won't eat it, but I far prefer lettuce in almost
any variety or spinach as a salad green.
