Been there; done that. We used to save for a month so we could have a couple of T-bones on the grill. They were about .99 cents a pound in those days.

Rocket, aka arugula, aka eruca. Relative of kale and broccoli...

Apparently, it is also called "ruchetta", "rucola", "rucoli", "rugula", "colewort", and "roquette".
Aren't dialects wonderful?
I remember a story about a kidnapper who was located because he used a very local word for the strip of earth between opposite lanes of traffic in a city. https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/503012/12-regional-idioms-‘highway-median-strip’
