Goldfinch: What's a salmon pinwheel?
And, Catrin: What is artisan salad?

Salmon, with various types of stuffing, my favorite spinach and ricotta.

We buy "artisan" lettuce at Kroger and while we like the product, there's nothing "artisan" about it. There's nothing "artisan" about food grown in the ground. The truth is that the word has become a marketing gimmick and is being misused for a whole host of foods.

[Catrin]

I agree, it is just the brand name. Good lettuce though, and it is a different variety than what I've seen.

[indysteel]

Sorry; just read the review you linked to and it also takes issue with use of the word. I do disagree a bit that the lettuce doesn't necessarily spoil as quickly as mixed spring greens. We've gotten a few bad packages of it, despite having purchased well before the sell by date. Kroger is generous in their return policy at least. The only lettuce we've bought that doesn't spoil relatively quickly is at the local farmer's market. Not surprisingly....

[spokewench]

Thanks for the descriptions - I just couldn't figure out what artisan lettuce was; I usually just buy red/green lettuce heads separately so I saw a package at Safeway yesterday that said it was "artisan" - now I know! Salmon pinwheel looks great!
