Lol, too true Gordon... I like that idea as long as I'm not on the receiving end
got to take dex back to the vet tomorrow night, see if the steak has sorted his anaemia out...fingers crossed it has, he seems happy enough

Just googled fava beans lacey......broad beans they are!! I have just learnt something new

LG couldn't say broad beans...it just wouldn't be fitting!!

Must admit that I grew some broad beans a few years ago, what a useless blerdy vegetable. Had seen a TV Chef saying that you should blanch them and then take the skins off the actual bean. Grew 'em. Shelled 'em. Blanched 'em, Skinned 'em, Cooked 'em, Tasted 'em, Threw 'em to the hens. Ghastly they were and that after having messed about with the damn things for about 8months. Served me right - should have bought a tin to see if I liked 'em.

All that bother for nothing LG so sad Must have been the maid's day off,was it?

Not a fan myself either...actually i don't think i like any beans...nor sweet corn, that is minging too

No - Do cook things myself on occasion, rather pride myself on my abilities in and around a kitchen. Besides we have a Cook for that sort of thing the Maids functions are entirely different, they come under the jurisdiction of our Housekeeper.

Don't you like Heinz beans on toast??

Eileen - By7 Heinz beans, do you mean the Haricot beans that they sell prepared in a tomato sauce? Because they sell a tinned Kidney bean as well.
