Lesley Kuhn posted a photo of the bag on social media, where she wrote, "Check packaged lettuces carefully. Last night my son found a baby pale-headed snake in with his baby cos lettuce from Aldi."

In shape it resembles a giant cos lettuce forming a head some fifteen inches long.

For a time the foliage has the form of young cos lettuce, but the under sides are beautifully covered with a meal resembling gold dust.

The cos lettuce is an upright-growing type much esteemed in Europe, but less grown here.
