This plant and Campanula rapunculus are both known as rampion as well as rapunzel; see the disambiguation pages for these names. In Into the Woods, the witch is upset that her rampion (her champion!) has been raided; this is ostensibly the edible lettuce from her vegetable patch, which her neighbour the baker steals, but the episode foreshadows her fear that an ill fate might befall the Rapunzel that she has raided (who is a beautiful girl = a flower). Long story short: this is all intricate wordplay predicated on the sharing of common names among multiple plants.

The picture of the plate showcasing the Mache leaves as garnishes is poorly photoshopped or done in MSPaint. The mache leaves have been added to the picture -- you can still see the white lines where the editor has cut out the mache leaves from another picture.
The other oddity is why you would need a very sharp serrated knife to eat a plate of salad rather than a steak. I really don't see the value of this image.

Google ranking of common names
There are so many names for this plant, we need to agree on which one comes first. Google says the following:
doucette 3.8m hits (but mainly referring to French surname)
"corn salad" 2.8m (but mainly referring to maize-containing salads)
raiponce 2.4m (but mainly referring to Rapunzel fairytale)
feldsalat 1.3m (but mainly German entries)
"lamb's lettuce" 0.2m
cornsalad 0.1m
"field salad" 0.05m
fetticus 0.02m
"common cornsalad" 0.01m
"mache salad" 0.01mio
"nut lettuce" 0.004mio
Most of these names are silly, because the plant is not a lettuce, much less a salad ("salada" simply means salted in Spanish, salt being a basic ingredient of a salad). Nevertheless, "lamb's lettuce" seems to be the top genuine scorer of this list and therefore should be mentioned first in the Wikipedia introductory list of non-scientific names.
