    When I started to dig it was Lettice Rowbotham

    Hmmm, not sure if I should make this thread about plays on words involving
    Lettuce jokes, or pretty women.

    There was a teacher at my high school who would greet the class each day by
    saying "Lettuce ... and tomatoes" instead of "Let us begin"

      It's sort of funny when I think of a couple of vegetarian friends. They are a bit pompous about their "use of resources" and "healthier lifestyle choices".

      If environmentalists want to pass a law requiring me to eat bacon instead of lettuce....I'll sign that petition. I LUV bacon.

    Of course, who would be around long enough to enjoy the "environment" if all they ate was the fattiest meat from pigs and no vegetables? Not a trade off I'm interested in. Bacon tastes good, but really is a very small portion of my diet.

      Tellya, I am discoverin' fish right now.

      They are everywhere, slippin' sneakily twixt meat an' fowl like tinsel with fins.

      An' mebbe lettuce plays a big part in the show here.

      I see a trio of baked sardines, glimmerin' in a yummo coatin', all wrapped up snug an' gorgeous in their lettuce robes.

      I would eat that.

      But not if I cooked it myself.

      Thing I love about fish is how the fibers slip apart.

      I know you are not supposed to play with your food but I jus' wanna roll fish around so their flakes slide an' sloop like well shuffled cards.

      This does not happen with bacon.

      An' lettuce, unaided, has little to offer as a force for succulence.

      I know a lotta people on Warrior Forum think that what goes on down here in Off Topic is just a buncha spurious nonsense, but we are doin' good work gonna benefit all humanity if we can figure a cast iron hierarchy of intrinsic worthiness for alla the stuff we eat.

      We jus' got lettuce an' bacon on our list now, but I already got more than enough killa intel on how to survive if ever I gotta seek refuge in Wal-Mart cos of some stoopid zombie apocalypse.

      I can answer the Bacon or Lettuce question with conviction, the better to gear up my metabolism' for bustin' those fiends.

      Gotta zombie tryin' to suck on your brains, it is no time to be ponderin' on the bratwurst vs spinach conundrum, though I guess we will come to that later.

      So, yeah, those Mind Warriors think they got the future sorted, but we are the guys sortin' out the dietary choices upon which the future of mankind might one day depend, the delusional f*ckers.

        Hard choice to make - zombies...walmart....zombies...walmart - how DO you choose?

        Forget the fish - we need a tomato. Someone dumped a load of lettuce down here - I bought the baccon (it was on sale) - we can scrounge up some bread. One 'mato - and we got us BLT's. Nothing better than a good BLT...unless it's a Club Sandwich. Anybody got some turkey or ham and cheese?

          ... but for the sake of the environment, shouldn't it just be a BBB (bacon, bacon and bacon sandwich)?

            I ate at Whole Foods Buffet a few weeks ago. Only pulled pork and pork roast for me that time.
            I assume that's as Green as bacon.
