If any of you dry your own broad beans....

I've tasted the packeted snack he mentions and they are sinfully addictive. I believe you have to have dried not fresh beans
Those look really good!!
I have tried something similar with tinned chickpeas and it is equally as addictive!
Duke :)
Wasabi peas too .
Will have to try these-have bought the shop version from health food shops and they are addictive-I did try to tell myself they were healthy .....
I was surprised to find that broad beans were integral to Egyptian cuisine
I thought they were a cold country vegetable because they tolerate so much cold.
Yet the Egyptians adore them and even have dishes with them in the pod.
Whilst I do not dislike them, I think they are a 'man's vegetable'. Ladies seem to find the flavour, rather strong.
Perhaps they are underated as a staple because there is so much fiddling with podding them.
They seem to grow anywhere are resistant to disease, Just a bit of a lure to blackfly.
I love these as a bar snack with a nice cold drinkette ;)
