 DM> By russin language it's "luk-lettuce".

If we have some confusion as to what something is we can look up
and use the scientific names which are universal.

The "proper" scientific name of Carol's vegetable is Ipomoea aquatica
(Ipomeya vodnaya)

I know what she is talking about but I can't google up anything
about "luk lettuce". In Google images luk-latuk brings up images of
regular lettuce.



Cheers
