Whatever do you do with broad beans? have you got an animal that likes
them? They taste nasty.

Young, fresh broad beans are delicous. You've probably only ever eaten old,
big ones before if you think they taste nasty.

I forgot to mention that, yeah the young broad beans are lovely... I
sometimes pick them straight off the plant and eat them. The only
downside for me is 'peeling' them, the younger they are the less
necessary that becomes. They make nice dips, or mashed with some
garlic, mint, lemon juice... yum.
