Chicories: Radicchio, "Dandelion," Endive, and more!

So, in honor of my friend @jcguarneri I thought I’d try this Radicchio I saw at a local market - my first taste ever. Jay, I hate to say it because I was really getting fired up about this Radicchio thing…but I’m not a fan! haha. It’s quite bitter to me- just not something I’d want in my salad I don’t think!!! I hate to even say it because I feel your passion.

Of course, who knows what variety this is and you’ve already educated me on the large number of varieties and how they vary, so I will try not let one head ruin my outlook! I also confess I’m not a leafy-greens guy anyway so I’m not a fair tester.

Can you tell anything about what kind this may be?
