Advantages: delicous, refreshing, exciting, moist, aesthetically pleasing.

Disadvantages: Not filling at all, contributes nothing to the human body.

Cress is a delicious, succulent, green plant that has a tendency to find its way into egg sandwiches. Whilst the leaves often get stuck in the back of the throat, the stalks are particularly moist and go down like a treat!
The taste is very mild, and extremely watery and refreshing...Mmm!

Now cress is the subject of many a colourful debate regarding just which kind of cress goes best in a sandwich when unaccompanied by any other form of vegetable or meat product. Well after much cogitation on the matter, I have reached the conclusion that watercress is by far the most delicious, but only if used in the correct proportion, too little can leave a very dry watercress sandwich which doesnt go down well, and too much can be just far too 'cressy' to eat! I'm not alone on this one, in fact to quote Oscar Wilde:

"When I ask for a watercress sandwich, I do not mean a loaf with a field in the middle of it"

Cress complements boiled eggs particularly well but can also be used effectively as an aesthetic accompaniment to soups, in the same way that parsley so frequently is. It makes a pleasant side-dish to potato-based meals and is possibly the least offensive of all edible plants, due to its mild flavour and (almost too) refreshing effect!

It has no nutritional value whatsoever.

Summary: Eat the cress! Eat it!
