Default Borlotti Beans

[1] For some reason, Borlotti Beans is one of those phrases that I
always hear in a Geordie accent, along with Kawasaki and Taramasalata.
And then there's the Apple MP3 Player made specifically for Geordies -
the "Why-Ay" Pod.


Now you mention it, the word Borlotti does sort of lend itself to the
accent. Now every time I read it I'm going to get a mental Geordie echo!
