English translation:cress/glasswort

Explanation:
the "agretto" is a kind of herbaceous plant. Look on the site below for the meaning. "sottobosco" is just the "place" where it grows > "underwood"

But what I was also thinking is that here it is just a kind of dressing...I fact I found several sites like:

www.reggionelweb.it/cucina/index.asp?ID=10 - 27k

www.webumbria.it/Ricette&Cucina/Primi/page051.htm

www.coopfirenze.it/info/art_1165.htm

where agretto is not the plant but the dressing for the pasta, fish and so on...

so the translation may be \"underwood dressing/sauce\" ??

Just a suggestion!

So that\'s it! It\'s just the salad dressing!

I\'d say blueberry/wild berries dressing/sauce
