Very crunchy lettuce, sent by a friend from France a few years ago. Very easy to go, it seeds to have grown fond of Quebec's climate. We were able to find the following informations on the Internet : "This lettuce surely had the Champagne territory as its cradle since the start of the 19th Century. Then, as decades went by, the name got lost like it happens with so many varieties. It nonetheless survived over time thanks to its undeniable qualities, saved by a woman named Angèle. The variety has kept on existing and spreading around, now under this name. Luckily, Gilbert Vincent, notorious bean collector, was able to conclude, after many years of research that the 'Angèle' lettuce was the same as another variety from Champagne too, 'Alphange à graine noire'." (free translation). The variety is also referenced under its English names in a London publication from the 1870s, The Garden by William Robinson.
