watercress - Pat

[Guest guest]

Hey Pat, perhaps you might know this. I remember eating little

sandwiches that my mom would make. It was white bread with butter,

some type of potted meat and what my mom called watercress. But the

watercress that I've bought since is really peppery and I remember

this to be pretty bland. Sometimes we just had watercress on bread and

butter. What other type of sprout could this have been?

 

Mmmm, I still love cheese and cucumber sandwiches, cheese and Branston

Pickles sandwiches and tomatoe and cheese sandwiches; all things my

mom would make for me.

Hi Denise - Dunno about the cress sannies - not a

veg that I've ever bothered with much. (Time to

change all that, I think.)

 

As for cheese and cucumber, etc., sannies - yes

dh and I are both nutty over cucumber and put

them in with soycheez or tomato or just about any

kind of sandwich we make. I even slice them very

thinly (using a potato peeler) and sub them for

lettuce (when we run out) to pile on burgers with

the obligatory tomato etc. in the bun. Food

preferences like this are funny - no rhyme or

reason to them LOL

 

Sorry no help over the watercress or whatever.

The only one I know is indeed peppery :=)

 

Best love, Pat
