Re: Lettuce

Hi Chris,
This happened to me when I was living in Arlington, Virginia.  I recall
the lettuce being quite bitter when it reached the stage that the milky
substance oozed.  I didn't like the bitter flavor so I let it go to seed
(so I could collect for the next season).  Tasting it didn't bother me
so if you like bitter, I guess its OK to eat.  Why the milkey substance
forms is still a mystery to me--Does anyone else know why??
