The sight of watercress, a wild green Katniss was accustomed to foraging back home, must have made her long to be back with Prim, her mother and Gale.
If you can find watercress growing wild, by all means use it. It will lend an extra layer of authenticity to your meal. If not, you can often find it in farmer’s markets or produce sections in the grocery store.
