There is discussion as to whether curly endive and chicory are the same thing, as some stores use the names interchangeably. I think it varies by region and naming. I'm still confused on it too, but can point out the Belgian endive thing comfortably.
Belgium endive is not good to feed torts, but either curly endive or chicory is great. Curly endive also comes in spring mix often.
