Miner's Lettuce, For the Greater Glory of Shmo

VEGETABLES / MISC-VEGETABLES
Claytonia perfoliata. Miner's lettuce is a delicious, mild, nutritious green that is usually eaten raw in salads, but can also be cooked. This selection is from some plants with huge leaves approaching 3 inches across. They were found in Grass Valley, CA, by Shmo the cat, who likes to eat them, and doesn't appear to mind lending his name to the variety, as long as he continues to get fed better stuff.
