Egg and Cress -WTF?

Why is it that every single time I order an egg sandwich (a personal favourite of mine) from a city centre cafe it comes with CRESS??




WTF is cress?

I'll tell you what it is. It's a plant that you grow at school. Yes, when they're teaching you all about plants and growing things and nurturing etc, when they're explaining to you at 5 years old that plants need water - they have you grow CRESS. And it's not just me that happened to. My son had to grow cress last year. My friend's daughter has to grow cress. I had to grow cress, all my friends I know had to grow cress at school. It's a British phenomenon.

I always wondered... why cress? But now I have figured it out. Primary school children are forced to grow it to feed the demand for uneccesary bits of plant in egg sandwiches.

IF I WANTED A PLANT IN MY SANDWICH I WOULD ASK FOR IT!

Cress??? Wtf is the point?
