Suspect Sources edit

I'm not going to go through all of them, but I'm calling some of these sources into question. Seeing 4-5 citations for some of the lines threw up a red flag.

For example, the 10th reference, a 1917 article called "FINDS LONDON FOOD CHEAPER THAN OURS", contains absolutely no mention of "lettuce" or "lettuce sanwiches". It does mention cabbage, but only by describing it's current price in London relative to New York. That, and a line about it's nutrional value, which is next to none. No lettuce to be found.

I'm hoping that is the exception. One of them did in fact link to an article on "lettuce wraps".

If you click the link to view the entire article in PDF format (available here), you will see that the term "lettuce sandwich" is indeed in the article. Of course, that is a non-extensive reference to say the least, but was used to support the fact that the lettuce sandwich was a common/known food item in England.

Ah thanks for pointing it out again. I read it the first time and must have skipped over the recipes. Lime in the Coconut 18:50, 23 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Why is "Lettuce Sandwich" the title of this article on lettuce wraps? A lettuce sandwich is lettuce on bread, a sandwich.69.212.125.14 (talk) 21:47, 14 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Wrong title edit

This should be renamed lettuce wrap not lettuce sandwich. This is not a sandwich and "lettuce sandwich" described a sandwich with lettuce on it.
