anyone else sick of lettuces and bugs?

[arknor]

why does every single lettuce I buy always have flies living inside it? I even found what appeared to be a baby slug inside one before...

everyone else finds crap almost every time or just me?

I've completely gone off them now after the last one had about 10 little flies inside it..

I know you are supposed to wash them but still..

What could you substitute for lettuce in a BLT?

Wash it

then you get a wet sandwich.

the peeling
the washing
the drying

Is it worth it?

What kind of lettuce is it?

Wash it and get a salad spinner. Takes minutes and you get nice clean dry leaves.

You can even do the whole lot then keep it in a bag in the fridge.

iceberg lettuce.

Buy ready washed mixed leaf salad bags from supermarket. Tiny bit more expensive but tasty, quick and no bugs.

They probably still have bugs if you look close enough lol
always seems to be the crappy outer leaves in those packs as well...

Lettuce is rubbish, You use up more energy eating it than you get back out the lettuce. Don't buy it ever again.

not sure if true but it sounds plausible lol

Maybe I should look into growing my own away from bugs
