Another classic from Bowery! I like the idea of Romaine, it's healthier than iceberg and not mysterious, but this particular instantiation was a little bit "earthy" for me. Maybe they're all like that! Still, good concept, good amount for one salad, etc. It'd be cool if the pieces were a little smaller (I know I can tear 'em myself, and I do, but I'm just saying. If wishes were horses.)

Don't get me wrong, I like the design and easy-to-eatness of all the Bowery lettuce packages, but of those, this is one of my least favorites. It tasted pretty "earthy", if you know what I mean. I know there's no dirt on it, it looks clean, yet it tastes like there might be some dirt on it. The frilly leafs aren't for me, I guess! Still ate it though.

I was lucky, my spring mix was free of those purple bits. It was basically generic salad greens, which I like very well. Plus, no need to wash, and I can eat out of the container? Very nice. I added a hard boiled egg and some dressing and it was a very satisfying little meal. Thanks Bowery! (I always think of being a teenager listening to the Decemberists while showering when I see the word "Bowery", anyone else? Hm? No?)

I like all pre-washed lettuce. Actually, I don't know if this is pre-washed, but it says "no need to wash", which is the same thing in my book. I did have a few wilty pieces and a few bug-holey pieces, but for the most part it was crispy and fresh. A good single-serve salad size container, too.
