(VB and notes

Samphire is not always an easy plant to find, but many different varieties grow in coastal areas. It can be used as a vegetable accompaniment to any fish recipe, or as a very simple starter. It is sometimes referred to as Sea Asparagus, but is more salty than asparagus, so you would not usually salt the water it gets cooked, in for instance. You would only cook it for about a minute.
pep sth / s.o. up – informal – to make sth / s.o. more lively
Note
Traditionally, strawberries are served at many high-profile summer events in Great Britain – for instance, at Wimbledon during tennis championships, or at graduation balls at universities.
It must be quite a challenge – it must be very difficult
