I don't mind it but wouldn't eat on its own. They used to sell it on the streets in Victorian times, sometimes the only way the kids could earn some money if they weren't already up chimneys or down mines.
The next cheapest vegetable after onions was watercress. The watercress season runs from April round to February. It was sold in bunches and sold for only half a penny for four bunches. Although they probably didn’t know it at the time, watercress is high in iron and fibre and so a decent food to eat on a daily basis. Working class people regularly ate it for breakfast along with bread, cheese or cold meat left over from the night before, all washed down with weak beer.
I do like it - packed with health benefits, I eat watercress in a salad most weeks
