Plump lettuce (Lactuca sativa)
Sometimes mixes happen on a seed farm. That's what happened one day in spring, when we planted our Moroccan Cressonnette lettuce seeds, grown the previous year. A lettuce had much "plumper" leaves than the watercress, in addition to being very large and having very light and crisp foliage. We collected the seeds and for a few years we selected this fortuitous mixture. We named it Grosse Dodue in reference to its foliage but also because the Grosse Lazy Blonde lettuce grew not far from there. It was perhaps with her that the love story began... In short, Grosse plump is therefore totally Quebecois, new and delicious. Try it!
