What happened ,did it get deleted? No deletion message that I can see.

Just seen you have posted the thread. Thank You :)

dame the flat breads was YOU!!

I bought the greek yog yesterday and still have the window open, we are having them for dinner tonight.

Pity I don't have any visiting children to try them on.
Oh wait, couldn't serve them anyway, they aren't pizza/pasta

Butter beans + breadcrumbs = chocolate biscuits

terrylene - I love bagpuss too.

Aw user got there first, i was going to show off my knowledge of Bagpuss too!

I always do it on the job and I used to soak beans over night but unless you get really good quality beens the canned ones work better as they don't fall apart. And it's much quicker too!

@terrylene
Heave! Heave! Heave!
We will mend it.

Dear old Bagpuss

Dear old Bagpuss My favourite story. Probably why my DC like butterbeans - we had them at school as a vegetable and they were very unpopular (pre-Bagpus era).

It sounded both delicious and quite, you know, normal to me. Not OMG HOW REPULSIVE AND OBSCURE A FOODSTUFF I AM VOMITING AS I TYPE.

I make a soup version of that. Even grate cheese on top sometimes but not tried feta.

It's great soupy

thanks for flat bread recipe - so sorry to have missed a bean fight though

If you like butter beans this is really delicious:

Butter beans & Bacon (for 2 people).

I tin butter beans, drained & rinsed.

Half a pint of cheese sauce made with a good strong cheddar + a tsp of Dijon mustard.

6 (or so) thin cut rashers of streaky bacon.

Heat the butter beans in the cheese sauce until piping hot. Put them in a flat ovenproof dish (or a couple of of individual chafing dishes) , put the bacon on top & put under the grill until the bacon is done - less than 5 mins.

Serve with crusty bread and/or salad.

V calorific, v easy & v comforting. A British tartiflette??

A glass of very cold white wine raises this to ambrosial!

Oh God, that sounds lovely!!!

Bean fights and Bun fights....

So did the OP say it was broad beans but later reveal it was a typo and they were butter beans? Or what? OMG I AM ALMOST VOMITING

Dame it is truly delicious. Have to ration how often I have it!!

yes dubious.
and she dared to put feta cheese on top, which was tantamount to vomit, and then serve it to children. Children! Who only eat pasta a pizza - how dare she!!

Butter beans in cheese sauce!

I am almost fainting at the thought.

Could I squeeze some cauliflower in somewhere?

This thread is even better than the original. It all sounds delicious! Not broad beans mind. Definitely not broad beans.

Broad beans and cheese sauce?

BUTTER BEANS, BUTTER BEANS, BUTTER BEANS BUTTER BEANS

It's easy to tell the difference - broad beans sleep in their blankety bed; butter beans sleep under crumbled feta cheese. No need for any confusion, people.
