lollo rosso
/ˌlɒləʊ ˈrɒsəʊ
/noun [mass noun]
Lettuce of a variety with crinkled red-edged leaves.So edible peas and beans will replace sweet peas, lollo rosso will replace lobelia and everything will literally look good enough to eat....
- They include automatic defrost functions, but are not totally frost-free, which means that paying that bit extra for a fridge might just ensure your lollo rosso wilts less.
Origin
1980s: Italian, from lollo 'curly-leafed lettuce' (apparently from La Lollo, nickname of the Italian actress Gina Lollobrigida, with reference to her short, tousled hairstyle) + rosso 'red'.
