This post made me smile. I remember the Flopsy Bunnies falling asleep after eating lettuce and Beatrix noting in her narration that lettuce had soporific effects. Nice to know there’s some truth to that!

Well I just entered it into my recipe software…a pain and not something I just ‘do’.
It looks calming…Nigila Lawson (spelling) does a recipe with peas and lettuce that I just love…it goes will as a side dish to compliment a spicy main and this looks like it will do that to. I am thinking grilled porkchops, sweet potatoes, mashed or roasted in chunks, and this noodle/lettuce beauty.
Also I have two grown children that have trouble unwinding and actually going to sleep at times…yes…forwarding this page to them.
Oh…hope this is not a vegan site, if it is please ignore the pork chop suggestion.

Hi Kalyn – maybe you need to be feeling highly strung before you get the sedative benefit :-) It’s probably a psychological effect but you definitely need to get the right sort of lettuce too. At least there’s no chance of getting fat while you test them out!
Freya – I hope your brownies worked out in the end. I’m a kitchen disaster when it comes to baking :-(
Eye_carl – thank you very much, I’m glad you like the site!

I saw this page posted on a food site and I had to come check you out, from what I’ve seen so far it rocks!

I need something calming and sedative like at the moment – I have a big headache and I’m waiting for some brownies to come out of the oven. I think I might have screwed up the recipe…!
These noodles look delicious though!

Most interesting. This is definitely a combination that’s new to me. First I’ve heard of that sedative ingredient in lettuce. I eat a lot of lettuce, but it doesn’t seem to be working on me!
