Quick grass question

This was just ribwort, but this grew too (the ribwort is shorter and amongst it), its much thinner I assume it's grass? Is it safe to feed?

I haven't yet as was waiting for it to grow a bit bigger. I did repot some of it into a large plant pot and the long grassy bits have actually grown into what looks more like plantain.
 
We have lots of Ribwort Plantain growing wild in the garden and I don't remember ever seeing it grow like this. It might also be the pic, but the Plantain here is much darker in colour. That said, if it's not Plantain, then it's probably grass, although I wouldn't have thought that so much grass seed would have got in with the Plantain.

If it were me, I think I would taste a tiny piece of Plantain and compare it to a tiny piece of the other leaves :) I would imagine it's probably safe to feed, but here I wouldn't feed any plant that I wasn't 100% sure what it was.
 
Looks like 80% couch grass to me! I can just see the plantain in the first pic :lol: My buns LOVE couch-type grass :D Don't let it anywhere near outside, you'll get it everywhere!
