[{"role": "system", "content": "Romaine or cos lettuce is a variety of lettuce (\"Lactuca sativa\" L. var. \"longifolia\") that grows in a tall head of sturdy leaves with firm ribs down their centers. Unlike most lettuces, it is tolerant of heat. In British English, it is commonly known as \"cos lettuce\", and in North America as \"romaine\" lettuce. Many dictionaries trace the word \"cos\" to the name of the Greek island of Cos, from which the lettuce was presumably introduced. Other authorities trace \"cos\" to the Arabic word for lettuce, \"\" . It apparently reached the West via Rome, as in Italian it is called \"lattuga romana\" and in French \"\", both meaning 'Roman lettuce', hence the name 'romaine', the common term in North American English. In North American supermarkets, romaine is very widely available year-round. The thick ribs, especially on the older outer leaves, should have a milky fluid which gives the romaine the typically fine-bitter herb taste. Romaine is a common salad green, and is the usual lettuce used in Caesar salad. Romaine lettuce is commonly used in Middle Eastern cuisine. Romaine, like other lettuces, may also be cooked, for example braised or made into soup. For 3000 years from at least 2,700\u00a0BC Cos lettuce was associated with the Ancient Egyptian god of fertility, Min, for its resemblance to the phallus.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I hate romaine lettuce.
