Yesterday, I just cut it up in thick julienne style, and sautéed with butter and olive oil, with salt and garlic, and then put a good dose of grated parmesan on top... delicous! We had it with barbecued pork country ribs.

They may have been Kentucky wonders. Best bean ever. When cooked with bacon they turned a deep dark green. I need to try tomatoes in my beans sometime, but it just doesn't seem right. Potatoes on top, yes.

We tried to grow them once and we got a lot of pretty green leaves and red flowers but absolutely no beans. We concluded that the plants didn't like our soil or our summer temperatures, or both. I think we'd call runner beans "pole beans" in America.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-46666204791403010322014-07-08T09:00:03.823+02:002014-07-08T09:00:03.823+02:00That looks sooooo appetising....
