I voted for Romaine but like Tammy said enjoy most fresh lettuce from the garden. We make caesar salad quite often using romaine.

Buttercrunch is good and that is the kind we grew when we had our market garden. I still order that type for our regular lettuce every year. This year I grew a mesculun salad mix which has several different kinds of lettuce and we've enjoyed having that in a regular garden salad.

My husband doesn't care for some of the interesting leaf lettuces out there, so we have found Romaine to be a favorite with us. It seems like whenever we grow our own lettuce it tastes bitter. We'll have to try the Buttercrunch.

We normally buy Romaine, because it "keeps" better, but I really like green leaf lettuce.

A favourite here is red leaf lettice!! I hardly ever buy iceberg... Buttercruch is yummy too! :)

I voted for Iceberg lettuce. I know this may sound lazy...but I buy great big bags of Iceberg lettuce with bits of carrots and cabbage already mixed in the bag at our local grocery store for a fairly reasonable price :) This make having a salad for lunch or supper very quick and easy, just add your favorite croutons and dressing and enjoy!
My son loves salad...actually...he craves salad:) My husband and son always enjoy a good salad for supper and buying in the bags makes it easy and a timesaver, at least for me anyway:)

I voted Romaine. I like the way it looks best. :) When I make a salad though, I like best to combine several different lettuces.

The one we buy is most often iceburg, because it's cheaper. I always compost a few of the outer leaves and don't use much of the middle. We were laughing one time with a friend though, because they don't use much of the outside, but more of the inside. We determined we should give our 'bad' salad parts to each other...

We get both red and green leaf lettuce. I'm not personally the one that buys it...but it tastes good.:)It has a taste about it that tastes healthy and it also looks healthy...if you know what I mean. Sometimes the circular ones look too perfect.:P Once again, good poll!
Smile lots!Laugh often!

I like Spinach, Romaine and Iceburg. In that order. :)

We eat mostly the leaf type lettuces, but we love the buttercrunch, the tiny tims, and the ruffled lettuces too. We can grow lettuce most of the winter in hot caps, and it is so much better winter grown than spring or summer. Fall is just tooo hot. I do prefer my greens to have some size on them, not to be the baby size that is so popular right now. I like to pull up whole heads and make gorgeous plate salads....just looks so fancy! Do ya'll have special recipes for each type of salad green? Like wedges of iceburg, crisp and icey cold with chunky blue cheese or remoulade dressing, or beautiful crisp romaine made into garlicky ceasar's salad, or buttercrunch made into a cobb salad with lots of crunchy croutons and peppercorn dressing? We love salads.....

We like butter lettuce and we use spinach in place of lettuce in salads and sandwiches/wraps.

Fresh garden grown lettuce- a variety usually. But I love red-leaf mixed with spinach and iceberg for salads too.
We like to grow a "mesclin" mix too. Some of it can be bitter but usually not if you shade it or plant it early/late and not mid summer.
Buttercrunch is good too!

Definitely going for the buttercrunch.

is my favorite but if money is tight then I will buy iceburg.I only use iceburg for taco salad.I find romaine lettuce just doesn't go with it like iceburg does holding up wet in taco salad.

My husband and I like fresh spinach - in salads and smoothies. We also like massaged kale salads - that's when you take kale (we like lacinato/dinosaur kale best) and massage olive oil or maybe avocado into it, add veges, fruits, or nuts, and after a few minutes, the kale gets much more tender. :)

i voted other-because butter lettuce fresh from the garden can't be beat. it's the only kind i am growing this year because my husband loved it so much.
