Feast
…for a Watercress feast!

We had a lot of trouble choosing from all the delicious-looking recipes, (click here for recipes). The humans all agreed that the watercress risotto was delicious…one of the very picky humans said it was the best he’d tasted since a memorable meal in Parma!

Happy Watercress Day to you and yours!

Quimper Hittys 
This is another very cool celebration in your region. It looks to be well attended. Recipes are overflowing with magnificence. We would like to join in but with a bit more rustic fare: lambs quarters is what we’ll be serving here in our seasonal servings.
Aren’t those recipes deliciously described and photographed? I’d love to visit some time – next time I am in England on the second Sunday in May…
That watercress salad looks yummy and so healthy. Quimper girls do such a good job of educating us. Thank for the Recipe Link. I am going there next
The carnivores ate the risotto with Italian meatballs, bocconcini tomato and basil salad and pan-fried broccolini…The Hittys enjoyed a sample of everything too!
I believe all of the Quimper Hittys deserve the title of Cress Queen…and sweet Jane most of all!! What a fun celebration. I enjoyed reading the recipes! thanks.
We love discovering new and interesting feasts, and watercress seemed like a humble plant quite worthy of being elevated!
How refreshing! Lovely photos, and delicious looking risotto!
