How do you pick a lettuce for different applications? Say I want to make a burger and need some burger leaf lettuce but the store doesn't have that cultivar, they got the other half dozen lettuce breeds though. How do you decide which one to get?
>>22028545I just use spinach instead
>>22028545You sound like an invalid helpless child
>>22028636This is the worst advice I've ever read on /ck/. Eating raw spinach is how you get kidney stones. It's loaded with oxalic acid. It's not even a substitute for burger lettuce. The point of burger leaf lettuce is the crisp texture, spinach has zero crunch factor.Imagine giving yourself kidney stones just so you can make your burger worse.
>>22028679I like the taste
Just buy anything. It's only there for the crunch, not the taste
>>22028679iceberg lettuce. not burger.
>>22028545>burger leafIs that a Canadian who immigrated to the US or an American who immigrated to Canada?
>>22028545>burger leafI am laffin for obvious reasons
>>22028706There are over 100 species of lettuce, some of them aren't even crunchy.There's more to burger lettuce than just crunch, there's the aesthetics too. Iceberg lettuce has good crunch, but pale shreds of 'berg will never can't compete with the presentation of proper burger leaf, with the vibrant green color and frilly trim like a mini skirt. This is just so much sexier.
>>22028679>Eating raw spinach is how you get kidney stonesThis is like saying "eating bread is how you get diabetes."
>>22028844No, it's like saying "eating <food rich in purines> is how you get gout". It's directly causal. You can have every co-morbidity and contributing factor in the book, but unless you have oxalic acid or uric acid in your blood, you wont get kidney stones or gout.Even if you're healthy and have a good lifestyle, you should only have these foods in moderation. People on /ck/ are at high risk and should avoid them entirely.

>>22028545Well first of all, burgers shouldn't have lettuce
>>22028976Tell that to the King. His signature Whopper sandwich has always had lettuce on it. The Whopper is the instantiation of the Platonic form of a burger.
>american garden>burger leaf
>>22028873/ck/ has a surprising amount of skeletons and twinks. also you can avoid kidney stones by just drinking water and pissing
>>22029051Skinny people can get gout and kidney stones too.
>>22028679Having a few leafs of spinach on a burger isn't gonna harm you, fatty. >>22028873>unless you have oxalic acid or uric acid in your bloodWhich is found in many food sources, not just spinach. Do you freak out every time someone eats potatoes or beets too?
>>22028873Look at newer studies. Leafy greens with purines don't affect uric acid in blood levels nearly as much as meats do
>>22029525I've started drinking sour cherry juice daily. Apparently it helps expel uric acid. I don't have gout and hopefully this helps me from getting. Plus it's cheap and tasty as a daily juice. Oh and it has melatonin which helps you sleep better
>>22028545It's lettuce, use your intuition.>>22028678This, to be perfectly desu
>>22028545i don't know, like, use your brain?
