Cress is a small green plant with little round leaves that people eat raw — you do not cook them. In Britain the famous use is the egg-and-cress sandwich: soft bread, mashed egg, and a handful of these tiny, slightly peppery leaves. The plant grows very fast; children often grow it on wet paper or cotton in a dish and cut it after a week or two.
