Ok, strange one here.

My slugs are ignoring the lettuce and instead eating the spinach.


How considerate of them. Would they like some salt with it?
I once attempted to distract them on an allottemt by using cress to
feed
them. At first it didn't work. And then it did... but by that stage
there
wasn't much else left for them )-:

Well, problem is I planted the lettuce (loads and loads of it),
hoping
it would keep them away from the rest. There's only two of us, and I
just sowed 4 rows of tightly sown lettuce hoping they'd stay away
from
anything else and gorge themselves on lettuce.

Sigh. Now I have loads and loads of lettuce, and no spinach, which I
really really like.

Why not try boiling the lettuce?

or using the lettuce to feed rabbits and roasting them?
