Blanched, peeled, served cold, mixed with a little fish roe... :) Or just with some salt as a snack instead of crisps etc. Marvelous things, do miss having a few rows at the bottom of the garden.
If FF sees them she'll be back in a flash! She'll do anything for a broad bean. :D
The quality's great, big fat juicy ones, I was just a bit disappointed in the quantity. This is from three plants!
Mind you they were (are) climbing up a raspberry bush that's going a bit mad this year.
Raspberry yield was huge!
The Blackbirds ate them all. Climbed under the netting and scoffed the lot.
:-(
Spiderbaby is right. Broad beans are my all time favorite food. They remind me of bean feasts we had with my grandparents when we were kids.
I am just about to sit down with some pods and scoff em while watching the footy. Not home grown but fresh form the farm. And i wont share them with anyone!
