Lettuce is a type of green leafy vegetable.[7]
History[]
In 1992, Gilderoy Lockhart claimed to his second year Defence Against the Dark Arts class that after he dealt with a particular vampire, it was unable to eat anything but lettuce.[8]
In 1993, after Rubeus Hagrid's disastrous Care of Magical Creatures on Hippogriffs, the students spent hour-after-hour in his classes shoving lettuce down the throats of Flobberworms.[5] Ultimately, the flobberworms died, having been fed too much lettuce.[6]
Lettuce was an essential component of a BLT, a sandwich consisting of bacon, lettuce and tomato.[2][3][4]
