I will inquire. @Todd, thanks for the celtuce info. Definitely a more satisfying name than "asparagus lettuce." I updated the reference above. Is it just coincidence that both John and I would have covered celtuce within a few days of each other? I aver that it is so, all rumors of celtuce-farmer blogger payola to the contrary. @Randy: inexplicably, the culinary opportunity has never presented itself at the studios. I will inquire.

Apparently not many people have heard that word before, but it seems to be correct (other names include "stem lettuce", "celery lettuce", and your dictionary's "asparagus lettuce"). It's a member of the lettuce family. By coincidence, not long after you wrote this post John of Sinosplice wrote a post in which he suggested “Celtuce” as the English name for Wosun.
