I tried this recipe a while back, and I really liked it! It's a different kind of "flavor genre" than we usually eat, but it was a very nice change. It had a nice tang to it, and the lemon and mint flavors went together well. I just used bottled lemon juice, and some mint sauce because we didn't have any fresh lemons or mint. I didn't have any watercress either {not that I even know what that is anyway...}.
