Rocket is, I believe, also called Arugula or Rucola and whatnot. It's a lovely spicy herb (at least the local variety is) that is a pain-in-the-ass to clean -- sand just clings to it, but hooray for salad spinners! The taste is well-worth the fifteen minutes or so it takes to clean a couple of bunches. Hopefully in less sandy parts of the world you won't have this problem. I use it in cold and warm salads, sandwiches (goes great with sausages) and even thrown in last minute into hot pasta and risotto (it wilts a little but still packs in the flavour). A lot tastier than the watery local lettuce.

I would love to see these crappy photos you speak of.

Thanks for the compliments, and now I must go and try to make prison food sexy.

Oh, and I wrote a bunch of food photography tips, but it was far too long to squeeze into a comment. I'll go slap some photos on it and post it up as its own thing tomorrow.

You do realise that the food only looks good, right? It's like those fantastic looking pictures they use at fast food joints, only I'm more Dogme 95 about it and don't use hairspray and laquer, but actual edible food.

Edible still doesn't mean tasty, however.
