Rocket...better known in the USA as...

Arugula
(Eruca sativa)

Arugula

Arugula, also called rocket or rucola, has green and narrow, dandelion-like leaves with a peppery, nutty flavour, reminiscent of radish.

Arugula can be used mixed in salads or as a flavouring in sauces and pasta dishes.

Rocket is uber-trendy at cafes here now...and it seems you can't get a salad without lashings of it! Which is a shame as I really hate the stuff. Hee hee.
I *heart* Cos lettuce.
