just what it says. It's a wedge-shaped section of a head of lettuce, like you'd slice a cantaloupe. it's a solid salad, in effect. I'd skip it and have something else. Salad isn't food; it's what food eats.  Thanks for the morning laugh. I may or may not use that comment

Quoted: I don't care for iceberg lettuce, but I love wedge salads. Bleu cheese dressing and bacon make everything better. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3267/2469143336_439c6c5d75.jpg THIS! |

actually a salad from a very long time ago
Up to the mid 60's an Iceberg Salad was an "IN" salad for menu presentation, it was BIG, Drizzled with lumpy Roquefort Dressing on a full dinner plate and was a presentation that made people watch the waiter carrying it across the room. I Beleive it orginated at Delmonico's the amount of food you get for your money today, Vs 20 to 30 years ago is FREAKING HUGE when I was an apprentice prepping raw cuts for dinner menu, not lunch, DINNER a chicken breast was 6oz, a Beef Filet 5oz, 5 16/20 shrimp to an entree 7oz for fish and a 1lb lobster being about the average when steamed whole. 5oz if used in a salad or pasta dish etc. so my comparison that big wedge of lettuce looked like something really special... 
Then in the early 90's the LAND WHALES started waddling into fine dining operations expecting a 20oz steak for their $20 with salad, potato, veg, and HUGE Desserts for $3 or they would BITCH to high Heaven... CHEF 
your opinion may vary, but I really dont care...

I didn't know what it was either. It's from the same folks who call a deep fried batter-dipped heart attack from hell a "blooming onion" so I was expecting something different as well. |
| It's the hard, tasteless, pale part of the lettuce stem that taste like shit, and no one wants to eat. Somebody had the brilliance to dress it up like a fukking pig and smear some shit on top of it, then charge $4.50 so fuck it must the trendy cool thing to eat fuck wot th fuck is wrong |

One of the best salads I've ever eaten was a wedge salad (at Mitchell's Fish Market in Rochester, MI).
It was a large wedge of lettuce with the best homemade Thousand Island dressing I've ever had, with a generous helping of still-hot bacon on it. My mouth is watering typing this... |
