  1. JR89 REVIEW:

    What bread do you recommend with this? I used cocktail rye but that felt a little too coarse and dense for what I think is supposed to be a very light sandwich. Maybe I'm wrong. The combination of ingredients is very simple but tasty. Had a little trouble finding watercress but the second store I went to had it.

  2. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    Don't forget the bread when you go to the store. It was very good though.
