You are jumping to conclusions! I regard runner beans of that size
as much inferior to smaller ones, not because they are stringy, but
because they are more watery. And feeding them won't help reduce that!

I prefer the flavour of larger ones - not larger so that the skins
contain toenails and the sides are held together with
packaging-plasticbandlike strips though...
