What does FRISEE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A salad green with tightly curled, feathery, slightly bitter leaves, a form of curly endive.

The name is French and means curled, which describes the leaves exactly. It is a classic partner for warm bacon and a poached egg, where its bitterness cuts through the richness.
