It's the only endive I'd heard of, so I tossed it out there.

BTW: Radicchio, while being a chicory, is not an endive. Red endive is a Belgian endive, not radicchio.

The common endive in markets is the Belgian endive. Broad leaf endive or escarole is often available. Curly endive or frise'e is something that I've never seen in the local markets.

OK, stores here frequently call red endive radicchio. I only ever eat Belgian or frisee anyway so I don't know the difference much
