when i went to europe for the first time i got a "rocket lettuce salad" at a restaurant and i was too shy to ask wtf "rocket lettuce" was and soon i was served a bowl of NOTHING BUT ARUGULA. 0% any other leafy green. completely unacceptable. like ok first it tastes really bitter and then it tastes a little sweet and then it just tastes like soap. it's a taste roller coaster and it is not a ride i ever ask to be on. but i choked it all down like a good little anxious tourist :/
O M G my worst nightmare. really. arugula is the devil ‘lettuce’. (i don’t think it should even qualify as lettuce)
i’m so sorry you had to eat that and not look like a rude tourist ;n; but kudos to you for surviving that!
