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...

I like both, at the moment they are very small as they are not doing
too well but last year in England we had a glut, they were big but
very tender and lovely with lamb gravy and Yorkshire pudding. I have
introduced my French neighbours to that, as a first course!!!
