[QUOTE="Annb, post: 2475880, member: 25851"] On the Islands we don't see it very often but the endives we do see (Belgian endive) are not the frilly ones of your picture, but small cup-shaped leaves; sometimes pale green and sometimes red. The leaves are very tightly wrapped in a kind of tulip shape. The one in your picture is called curly endive or Frisee. Haven't seen it for years but I think it is more bitter than the ones we can get. There is another one called Escarole which I have seen but never tasted. I gather that it is a bit less bitter in the middle but the outer leaves are tougher and more bitter and useful for cooking. [/QUOTE]
