Whole leaf or shredded lettuce on a sandwich?

I’m the oddball that doesn’t like mayo and oil/vinegar, mustard, etc. so I like whole leaf for protecting the bread from tomato juice while also providing some additional moisture to the sandwich.
But on my Italian subs I got in the habit of green peppers and spinach when I was on the road and had more shredded lettuce in my lap than inside me.

Whole leaf, whatever kind of lettuce. Mainly because no matter how careful I am, shreds always end up in my lap.

I made my first BLT in quite a while a few days ago. I used a spring salad mix for the L and cherry tomatoes for the T.

It as was so good I just bought two more packs of bacon.

another classic I had yesterday, I made a grilled cheese with bacon.

I had one last night minus the lettuce.

Haha after posting this last night I woke up extra early this morning and made another. With salad.

Since a few people joked about lettuce... I REALLY like a good salad with steak. There is world of lettuce and salad outside of iceberg. A good place to start is caesar with romaine. Ken's is my jam and throw a bunch of fresh ground BP and shredded parm on it. Typically for steak dinner here it would be a mix of greens. Bold stuff makes iceberg taste like water. Sliced red onion, some cherry tomato halves, maybe some olives, then from here green apple slices or maybe pear, then some goat cheese like bleu or gorgonzola. Now and then I throw some nuts in like toasted walnuts. I'm typically a ranch guy and often will add a light drizzle of balsamic. There's some magic interaction with a good salad and the grilled steak.

@chopsaw Kinda funny I thought you were posting grilled romaine. Was a big thing a few years ago. Now grilled cabbage is the rage.

None.
No tomatoes either.
