What does MACHE mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A small leafy green plant known as corn salad, whose tender leaves are eaten raw in salads.
Mache grows low to the ground in loose rosettes of soft, spoon-shaped leaves with a mild, slightly nutty flavour, and cooks prize it for salads where a delicate green is wanted. It is winter-hardy and often sold still attached in small clusters rather than as separate leaves, which helps it keep fresh longer than looser lettuces. French cuisine uses mache frequently, and it appears on menus under both the name mache and corn salad. The word should not be confused with the material papier-mache, which is a different, unrelated term for moulded paper pulp.
