That's funny. Speaking of sandwiches, coincidentally, I was waiting for
a meeting to start and we had a mini-debate on the best lettuce to use
when building sandwiches. I naturally said it depends on the filling.

Like, egg salad sandwich is a flexible one but butter leaf goes
great. Tuna fish goes well with romaine. Turkey/avocado and arugula/baby
spinach.

What say you?

I always like the crunch of iceberg lettuce with any
sandwich or salad. Other kinds are like eating grass
scraped off from the underside of your lawnmower.

I'm not a particularly a fan of lettuce except in a salad. I find it adds
nothing to the taste of a sandwich other than being a filler.

The only one of these leafy offerings I would eat on a sandwich would be
baby spinach and on a hamburger. The others, to me, are just gilding the
lily.

I still remember my first meal at a restaurant in Alabama where
they put a sprig of parsley on the plate. I was puzzled.

My mother told me it was not to eat. Just for show.

If toasted with some kind of oil, grease or butter and then nice cold lettuce and tomato is added? any sandwich is better, I'd say.

Actually, it is meant to be eaten to sweeten the breath after a meal but
people seldom do consume it.

I always ate it anyway. I still like sprigs of parsley in a salad.
My parsley plants are currently serving as a nursery for some kind
of butterfly. Possibly the black swallowtail.

Very likely the swallowtail. They are beautiful creatures, so I always
plant enough parsley to share with them.

Swallowtails like Dill too.

Certainly! Lettuce and the sesame seeds on the bun are all nutritional.

I grow a parsely patch each year, I much prefer curly leaf as it
tastes sweeter than flat leaf. Parsely is an excellent breath
freshner, which is why I believe it's used as a garnish. I usually
eat the parsely garnish, but hesitantly as I always wonder if eateries
wash it... parsely leaves grow close to the ground so always contain
some sand. I swish mine in my water glass and can see the grains of
sand sink to the bottom. That sand won't make you sick, not until you
see your dental bill.

I like dill but I don't plant any as dill is extremely invasive...
when their seed pods ripen they suddenly pop open explosively and
seeds get thrown for several feet.

No lettuce on sandwiches other than a BLT, and then iceberg. I like all lettuces in green salads. BLT sandwich season starts soon, as I have my first non-cherry tomatoes starting to ripen. I got them wet and sprinkled cayenne on them to deter the squirrels.

I've had quite a few of a particular sandwich the past week, mortadella on Italian bread with Dijon mustard. https://www.volpifoods.com/products/...ith-pistachio/ St. Louis doesn't have a lot going for it food-wise, but there's an Italian neighborhood called The Hill (I grew up with a racist father who called it "Dago Hill") that has, arguably, the best Italian salumeria in the Western Hemisphere (Volpi), and Italian bread that you can only buy on The Hill. There's a little grocery store there where I buy grated Asiago that's only $7.99/#, that also has semolina flour, and sells the big cans of Stanislaus tomato sauces.
