What you need to do is make an egg sandwich then add some of the plant. If it's cress it will be delicious...if it's knotweed, somewhat less so

Sycamore. The red is your key identification pointer. Established trees have red stems to the leaves.
It is a member of the acer family, so maple is actually correct.

Some years ago this stalky plant with beautiful pinkish flowers started to grow in my garden: the bees loved it!
Googled a wee bit, it looked exactly like Hymalaian Balsam
When the seed pods exploded, I knew it was Balsam!
Anyhow, Google also brought up a page of recipes, the leaves were lovely in a salad.

Japanese Knotweed Purée
Gather stalks, choosing those with thick stems. Wash well and remove all leaves and tips. Slice stems into 1-inch pieces, put into a pot and add ¾ cup sugar for every 5 cups of stems. Let stand 20 minutes to extract juices. Add only enough water to keep from scorching, about half a cup. Cook until pieces are soft, adding more water if necessary. They will cook quickly. When done, the Japanese Knotweed needs only to be mixed with a spoon. Add lemon juice to taste and more sugar if desired. Serve chilled for dessert just as it is, or pass a bowl of whipped cream. This purée is excellent spooned over vanilla ice cream or baked in a pie shell. Keeps well in the refrigerator and may be frozen for later use. (City Herbal)
Japanese Knotweed Bread
2 cups unbleached flour
½ cup sugar
1 ½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 egg
2 Tbsp salad oil
¾ cup orange juice
¾ cup chopped hazelnuts
1 cup sweetened Japanese Knotweed Purée
Preheat oven to 350F. Sift dry ingredients together into a large bowl. Beat the egg white with the oil and orange juice. Add along with hazelnuts and purée to dry ingredients. Do not mix until all ingredients are added, and blend only enough to moisten. Do not over mix. Spoon gently into buttered 91/2-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan. Bake about 1 hour or until a straw or cake tester inserted in the center comes out dry. Cool by removing from pan and placing it on a rack. For muffins, spoon into buttered muffin tins and bake about 25 minutes. (A City Herbal)

And, to give some balance, here's a dolphin recipe
DOLPHIN L'ORANGE
2 lbs. Dolphin filets (snapper or grouper may be substituted)
1 c. vinegar
1 c. sugar
1 tbsp. orange extract
2 sliced oranges
Place vinegar and sugar in saucepan. Boil until mix just starts to thicken. Add orange extract. Remove from heat. Place 1 layer orange slices on bottom of baking dish. Dip filets in thickened sauce and place 1 layer in baking dish. Pour on excess sauce and cover with remaining citrus slices. Bake in 350 degree preheated oven for 10 minutes per inch of filet thickness and serve.
I must say, it sounds flipper-in' delicious (sorry)

Mahi mahi fish is called dolphin in the Caribbean.
I have eaten it and it is good, but no relation to the whale dolphin.
