butterhead/butter lettuce Explanation: Hi Kate, Lechuga francesa in Spain is also called lechuga trocadero, and it does correspond to butterhead lettuce (although I'm not sure if you use "butterhead" in the UK...?). I've eaten "lechuga francesa" here and "butterhead" types (Bibb/Boston) in the U.S., and they're the same thing. Bibb and Boston are two types of butterhead. Here are some refs. Lechuga Francesa o Trocadero Es redonda, de color verde claro y con hojas poco apretadas. Tiene una textura muy suave, por lo que ***se la conoce como cabeza de mantequilla***. Combina con todo. http://tranbel.iespana.es/Gastronomia/tecnicas/especificas/e... butterhead lettuce One of two varieties of head lettuce (the other being CRISPHEAD). Butterhead lettuces have small, round, loosely formed heads with soft, buttery-textured leaves ranging from pale green on the outer leaves to pale yellow-green on the inner leaves. The flavor is sweet and succulent. Because the leaves are quite tender, they require gentle washing and handling. Boston and Bibb (also called limestone) lettuce are the two most well known of the butterhead family. The smaller Bibb is highly prized by gourmets. Both Boston and Bibb lettuce are sometimes referred to simply as "butterhead" or "butter" lettuce http://www.epicurious.com/tools/fooddictionary/entry?id=1613 |
