Check out the latest poll where cress takes the second spot for what vegetable you can live without.
Egg and cress sandwiches are one of the best sandwich combinations!
It's grass. Animals eat grass.
Why the hatred for aubergine?
Because it tastes of nowt and has no nutritional value.
Ok, it has some nutritional value, but it's still disgusting.

It's because of its lack of versatility. As you say, it's the only thing that can improve a simple egg sandwich - which is already near the pinnacle of perfection anyway.
But, modern science has yet to find a single other use for cress, hence the lack of love.
British have a love/hate affair with veg. They love potatoes and tolerate green things.
Cress isn't real veg though.
Cress is veg in the same way that chocolate sprinkles are a Mars Bar
The one and only purpose for cress.

It belongs in a bygone era that taste forgot, like keys in a bowl and pampas grass.
Totally pointless 60s veg. So much which is so better.
For me the shocker is the winner - Aubergine - such a great and versatile vegetable, espescially if you are going to spend the rest of your life with a veggie. 🙂

So if I eat cress I'm eating the food that my food should be eating? That seems pretty mean - my food's got enough to worry about without having to compete with me for its dinner.
Yeah, pretty devastated to see aubergine at the top. It's just divine in so many scenarios.
I can only imagine that people must not know how to serve it at its best.
Cress? Good for primary kids to grow as an exercise I suppose..
Watercress (or gurt big cress to give it it's proper name) is now where it's at. Little cress is like soooo yesterday.
As for aubergine it hovers precariously between cotton wool and snot. Neither of which I want to eat but both of which have more flavour.
Cress is an amazing tool for a good prank. Back when I lived in the block, we decided to punish a lad who went on leave for 2 weeks and left his room open, gentle watering of his carpet, add some cress seeds, 2 weeks later a carpet of cress.

WT actual F!
Have you never heard of Bacon!!
It's good in salad too but suppose you boys won't eat that! Don't forget that there's a peppery version that would give your sarnie some ooooomph.
I love cress ! Grown quite a lot in Hampshire as I am sure you know cg
It's a pretty pointless thing
Only useful for showing kids how a seed grows into something

Such ignorance 😥
Baba ghanoush, moussaka, in pickles, curries, the list is near endless.
I find that egg ruins a perfectly good cress sandwich.

It's only acceptable if it's cooked so that you can't recognise that you're eating it. Otherwise the horrible consistency and rather nasy taste spoil what might otherwise be nice food.
I've had all of those and the shittest bit in each was the aubergine. (except the babaganoush which was alright, cos it tasted of all the other things in it in a n aubergine matrix).

That there would be a bacon sandwich, possibly a bacon and egg sandwich, or maybe a bacon sandwich with egg. The superior food in a sandwich defines the type of sandwich, and bacon is superior to all foods.

And chocolate sprinkles. Nothing beats a nice egg and choco sandwich.

😆
I concur.
Cress is a little dull. Watercress on the other hand is a lovely big peppery hit of win.
Aubergine - great stuff. Good on it's own or a sponge for soaking up other flavours. Love it.
Watercress is the answer.
Teh nomz.
[b]yak[/b] has it on the nail.
Perhaps watercress hasn't reached ST towers yet... 😉

What's wrong with you? Are you Dutch?

Don't knock egg and choco til you've tried it. It's like Clamato juice, you can't imagine how clams and tomato juice would go together, then you try it and there's nothing else in the world to compare.
