  Hi all
  I live in the UK and have had a hard time finding Romain lettuce. I have heard that Cos lettuce is the same thing. But somewhere on the web I have seen it is not. But some places say it is the same. Have any of you given bunny Cos lettuce. I have 2 female 16wk old Netherland Dwarfs. I want to try and give them as much variety as I can ( I know it’s slowly slowly with each new item) but I’m just not sure on this one? If anyone knows it would be a great help. Thanks.

  Cos and Romain are the same. (There is a newer type lettuce called Cosmopolitan though, that is not exactly the same, it’s sweeter and more “Iceberg-ish”.)
  
  Here’s Wikipedia on Cos/Romaine:
