    That looks like good grub to me!! I reckon fresh watercress may work as well as spinach for that extra 'Bite'.

    Maybe some fennel would go well with this for some real extra zap.

    From the same family as the herb and seed of the same name, it's also known as Florence fennel, finocchio, or sweet fennel, is very popular in Italian cookery. When eaten raw, the texture is crisp and the flavour is quite assertive and anisseedy. Cooked, it's softer and more mellow.

    Yep! Fennel is great and I usually grate it raw into a mixed salad for a bit of 'Va va voom'. Smile

    When you stop and think ..... we are blessed / spoilt for choice with a great selection of vegetables we can use. Watercress / cress is so handy and definitely adds a slight peppery taste to many foods. I just love egg and cress together.

    Fennel perhaps more popular on the continent does also offer a slant on tastes.

    Food is to be enjoyed, and as Hippocrates said "'Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food"
    How wise is that?

    All the best Jan
