Chicory/endive

Finally managed to get some endive delivered from Tesco - they've been substituting with Fennel for several weeks (no similarity between these two products at all!!).

Yum - sadly no blue cheese to go with it (see earlier recipe). Just as well - a friend has sent me Ms Plant's dire warnings about dairy and cancer. I'm not sure I buy it entirely but...who am I to think I know different!

Anyway, thought I'd check its nutritional profile - it's only a 'lettuce', but still...

Wow! Endive is packed FULL of good nutrients and it even has its own website at Endive World. And now I see for sure that my restaurant-served red endive hadn't been discoloured by the beetroot but actually exists.

It even works as a sedative - good for supper then!
