Cosberg lettuce is basically a cross between Cos lettuce also known as Romaine lettuce and Iceberg lettuce hence the name cosberg.
The leaves have a lovely crunchy texture and the a boat like shape which makes it ideal for putting minced meat like the Thais do.
As I didn't do the cooking, the person who did just blanched the cosberg leaves and served it with some chicken and mixed grains rice.
I loved the lettuce as it was sweet and kept its crunch while cooked.
Thankfully I also tried it on its own before it was cooked and it was definitely crisp and sweet so it makes a great salad vegetable.
