Oct 2001 - Dec 2002 Established a lettuce demonstration plot involving romaine , red leaf , green leaf lettuce at two grower locations Bamberg county : Williams Farms and Cockrell Farms . His pride and skill gave energy to each dish , including a generous fatoush salad that had us on our knees : a slightly sweet mint and balsamic vinaigrette drenched a mound of crisp romaine , studded with scallions , crimson tomatoes and crisp triangles of baked pita . Varieties of romaine include Terrapin and Snappy , while Two Star green leaf lettuce is often grown . The same approach to a caesar - - many greens with a bit of pastelike dressing - - is less successful , though the white anchovies draped over the romaine are mild and delicious . Leaf lettuce and romaine provide flavor and crunch and are excellent salad and sandwich selections . The long , narrow , dark-green outer leaves of romaine have crisp ribs and a good strong flavor ; the pale yellow heart is sweet . Look for red leaf , red and green romaine , mixed greens , butterhead , spinach , kale , watercress and arugula . On a day we were feeling a little dietarily naughty , we tried the General Custer ( $ 6 / $ 8 ) , a crunchy combo of romaine , celery , carrots and zippy sliced buffalo chicken tenders all tossed in tangy blue cheese . As we entered the bookstore , I noticed at least six randomly placed and insouciant heads of lettuce , mostly romaine , with an iceberg loitering amid the historical fiction . Although thrips activity as measured by sticky traps has been relatively low ( Table 2 ) , thrips populations in head lettuce and romaine have been quite heavy this fall .
