How right they were. Absolutely delicious.

Before the 'fur' develops tho'

As I said before, pick them when they are finger size, and slice as you
would runner beans.
I know I've been eating them since the late 40's

If you let runner beans get large enough to need slicing, you have
picked them too late :-)

We have tried broad beans like that, and feel that they are a waste
of pods. They are OK, but the young beans are better. But broad
bean tops come for free ....
