Trivia

The term Salad came from the Latin word “herbasalta” or “salted herbs,” which was the literal definition of ancient salads.
The oldest English cookbook, The Forme of Cury (which was written almost a millennia ago in the 1300's), contains the first known recipe for salad, a tossed combination of flowers, vegetables and nuts.
The adage "salad days" originally meant "time of youthful inexperience" unlike the very recent use of it replacing “sad”. The first use of the adage was recorded at the hands of the great author and playwright William Shakespeare in1606
The original name for wild lettuce is “Lactucaserriola”, it was quite popularly known as the “prickly lettuce” in the old world.It was commonly grown for medicinal purposes.
