Roquette/Rocket/arugala

Waitrose are my supermarket of choice --- I know that sends certain people into spasms of antismugness, but it's an addiction I can't shake.

Nevertheless, they are very silly. They've taken to calling rocket "roquette", a doubly absurd affectation when you consider that rocket is an english salad with a very long history of being eaten in england.

This advert makes it all better. It's the one where people wave salad at each other and sing, and if you haven't seen it, do.
