mine won't touch it...fresh, bitter, whatever, they will have none of it...not sure if it's because they have such good grass/weeds/bugs, but the lettuce is better put to use in the compost pile.  But before judging it permanently bitter, I'd wait and retaste.  I'm finding up here that lettuce that tastes bitter one day, with a rain and cool temps, will taste sweet the next, so I don't discard until after a rain/cool temps...if it still tastes bitter then out it comes.
