Broad beans

I have been surprised by broad beans. I didn't think I liked them - I do. I didn't know what they looked like -furry cases. I'd never cooked them before -boil. I didn't think the girls would like them -chopped and a little hidden they go down well.

You can apparently cook them in the pods when young, but I didn't get them early enough to try that. This came from 'River Cafe Green', where there are a number of bean recipes. For a couple of weeks we ate them with their case, now we are peeling them after boiling.

I'd like to grow them for next year to try them young.
