wilkes

2 ways to fix this (without milk):

Old way was to make a spring tonic of all the new green plants which came up wild and tame. The oldsters used to pick wild asparagus, new polk shoots, new wild strawberry leaves, wild lettuce, fiddlefern heads, catbriers that had just come up, cut up spring onions, tame leaf lettuce, sliced small, tender radishes, a small grated carrot, and some mint leaves. Wash all well, and set aside.

Fry several strips bacon and reserve the grease.

Crumble the bacon into a pan and add
1/4 cup water,
bacon drippings,
salt and pepper to taste,
1/8 to 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar,
and 1/3 cup sugar

heat to slow boil,

Pour over greens, stir, and cover quickly with lid.

It's ready to serve.

(Now, I personally don't pour the hot dressing onto the greens until it has cooled down to about 100 degrees. The dressing is delicious, and as unhealthy as anything you will ever put into your mouth. Once a year is all I can safely eat this chlosterol c*cktail. I also don't gather all those wild plants like my mother, grandmother, and other older women did. I just use leaf lettuce, radish, green onions and tops, a little kirby cucumber if I have one, and the grated carrot.)

I have heard of adding half and half or condensed milk but I have never done this)

Could this be it?

How do you fix your welted lettuce? I heard over the weekend and some people in Ashe county use milk and it was really good. How do you do that?
