Broad beans? Skinned in a salad at a push but although I eat humous every day ( before eveninf meal) I don't think I'll turn over some ground next year to try BB humous.
Had spinach.carrots, courgettes ( in garlic and toms) and spuds out of the garden tonight with white fish rolled over herb cream cheese in dried ham... mmmmmmm

Baby broad beans with new spuds no bigger than your thumb nail with baby carrots , asparagus smothered in butter with a leg of spring lamb, 'scuse me while I wipe my chin. :innocent:

My favourite veg changes according to the time of year. It tends to be whatever is just coming into season as we won't have had any of whatever it is for quite a long time!

. I like everything we grow (no point wasting time and space on stuff no-one is going to eat).

I would rather be given a dish of broad beans or new potatoes than a box of chocolates. I love all veg, though peppers and cauliflower I can take or leave alone.

Hehe, I loathe broad beans and wonder why they even bother putting them in the seed catalogues, but love cauliflower!

Next time you get a box of chocs send them to me and I'll send you some broad beans.  :thumbsup: :D

Deal :thumbsup: ;D

I agree with the above - anything just in season, fresh and grown by me is great. We have just grilled our own chops and sausages with our own new potatoes, salad and our own salami in a pasta and olive salad. How good can it get. Oh Strawberries too !!
Keep on digging folks you know it makes sense.

Absolutely.  Anything you grow yourself has to be the best.  I just love veggies and salad. I always eat them first then the meat if I have any room left.

Goats cheese salad I guess. We always do that as a starter for family when they visit us but I love a simple salad and cheese after my dinner and usually leave the dessert.

Tomatoes and pumpkins because they are so easy and forgiving if you neglect them :-[ .  Then anything I can get to before our assorted wildlife eat it first ::) .  The labrador has developed the art of removing the sweet corn cobs  :yum: just as they ripen - funny to watch but very irritating.
