le-tuch-ee My dad had all sorts of funny ways to pronounce food. Asparagus was sparrow guts. Lettuce was pronounced letuchee. I’m telling you this because I went to Subway today and after telling the sandwich maker about my veggies, I asked he to put salt and pepper and oil and vinegar on the letuchees. She said, you want salt and pepper on what now sweetheart? I said letuchees again and immediately realized why she had no idea what I meant. And then clarified the lettuce.
