Order anything on a "bed of leaves" and it's a good bet that 95% your meal will consist of this tastless lettuce gone wrong - which is no doubt very good for profit margins!

Order a salad and again 90% of your meal will consist of this taseless lettuce gone wrong.

At the Waterside Cafe in Totnes, Devon in England, I ordered a dish and asked for potatoes instead of the hideous "bed of leaves" only to be told that "it comes with a bed of leaves". I was not allowed to order a portion of potatoes on it's own - unbelievable, even after explaining that I'm not a rabbit or an anorexic. Of course one doesn't have this problem outside the UK.
