What is this?

Can someone identify this weed for me please

I can't remember what its called, but its good tortoise food. I recognize the spines on the underside of the main rib going down the center of each leaf. I see that purplish color when my leaves survive temps near freezing. My broadleaf plantain does that.

Wild lettuce I believe. Though some consider it unsafe http://www.thetortoisetable.org.uk/plant-database/viewplants/?plant=574#.Wru5veBlA0N
Several people I believe do offer it.

I’m not sure it’s wild lettuce. All the pictures I see of that it has wider leaves than what this has.

Does it stick to your clothes? I’ve got a vote for prickly ox-tongue but the color is off.

It might be narrow-leaf hawksbeard (edible). It could also be prickly lettuce (edible).

Ooh, yes it could be. A young one. Small spines on the leaves.
