To utterly love broad beans?

[Wordsaremything]

And to be so happy that the baby version is available frozen?

[FreudiansSlipper]

yum me too

they are lovely in a spicy vegetable soup/stew or with fried in a little extra virgin olive oil and garlic

the frozen ones are very nice, I am short but managed to reach them I got mine from Sainsbury's, obviously kinder to their not so tall customers

[Puzzledandpissedoff]

Bianca M&S sell baby broad beans frozen ... they're wonderful

[Pollywallywinkles]

I love them too.

[halfdrunkcoffee]

Grow them, love them, although preferably without the skins.

[UncleT]

Bartlebee why on earth would you throw away home-grown, allotment vegetables like that?? So you don't like them - either tell her or give them away to someone who will appreciate them. What a horrible waste.

[sallysparrow157]

Broad beans and potatoes all mashed together with a ridiculous amount of salted butter with home grown and pickled beetroot on the side. Food of the gods.

[SistersOfPercy]

Ooh now white cabbage with fatty Smokey bacon on a doorstep of white bread slathered in butter and black pepper.
Heart attack on a plate but that's my comfort food and weirdly only my mum can get it perfectly right.

[aJumpedUpPantryBoy]

Love them.
One year we holidayed in a region of Spain where the local speciality was Habas con Jamon - broad beans and ham.

I ate it every day.

[EugenesAxe]

Really, what are these AIBUs about? Of course you aren't; they are grown, so someone has to.

'AIBU to demand the entire world bow down in homage to broad beans?' - now that has a bit more mileage.

[Wordsaremything]

Fascinating! I wonder what's in them? Clearly a love/loathe situation.
Oddly not hugely fond of cabbage or sprouts but like broccoli. Really dislike the sweet woody taste of cooked carrots but can eat them raw.
Maybe it's a childhood thing as can't remember ever having broad beans as a child.

[CheckpointSnarlee]

Yum yum!

[SistersOfPercy]

Oh god I love them. I buy the tins and as nobody in this house understands my love of them I share my tin with the dog (he gets it). Can't beat them smothered in Smokey bacon juice with parsley sauce.

I also have a sprout addiction, again just me and the dog. Lovely sprouts mashed into potato with lots of butter.

[FrancesNiadova]

Oooh, YANBU, Yummmmm!

[differentkindofpenguin]

Broad beans are amazing!

[jellybelly701]

YABU beans of any kind are disgusting.

[Bartlebee]

YABU

My mil brings them here in vast quantities from her allotment. We smile gratefully then secrete them under a layer of whatever in the recycling bin.

[iliketea]

In the opinion of my 5 yo dd- YANBU. She's have broad beans with every meal if I let her (little weirdo- the only thing she ever asks for more of is green vegetables! )

[hmc]

Really like beans of all varieties - EXCEPT broad beans. They are an abomination

[MillionToOneChances]

You are so right. My gift to you fellow fans is this, my favourite broad bean recipe. I just substitute frozen baby broad beans - cooked and cooled - for the pods of fava beans (the American name for broad beans. Delicious.

[thornrose]

motley it's not a bean or a sprout so I can cope.

[Winterbells]

Ohh, I love sprouts! Especially roasted with bacon and chestnuts but also steamed and then dipped in apple or cranberry sauce!

[Wordsaremything]

(Whispers ) tescos sell them frozen.
I remember them fresh picked from the garden,and have since bought older ones in pods from market or green grocer then rubbed the skins off.
Frozen ones are utterly ace.
Only veg apart from mashed pots and corn on cob I crave. Fabulous.

[motleymop]

How's about some cabbage, thornrose ?

[thornrose]

Oh bloody hell, sprouts now, Mumsnet at it's worst! This thread is disgusting, I for one have reported.
