I’m proud to say I do not know what arugula looks or tastes like.

I saw arugula on Food Network and Top Chef. Never tasted it.

I’m 66 yrs old and I heard of arugula for the first time when Obama made his gaff.

I like arugula; it has a nice sharp sour taste. It will re-sow for a few years, and is a cool-weather crop. Looks somewhere between lettuce and a dandelion.

The author is maybe not old enough to remember Dukakis’s arugula gaffe in 1988. He suggested that the struggling farmers of Iowa diversify and grow some arugula for the farmer’s market, since it brought much better prices than wheat and corn, which had dropped.

I like arugula, but agricultural ignoramus wusses give it a bad name.
