I would call these flat beans runner beans. They also look like an Italian one that they call Romano beans. The other green beans are narrower and need their ends trimmed off. I just refer to them as green beans apart from the French green beans (Haricot Vert) which are narrower and more tender. The other one you referred to that you have to pod I call broad beans. Usually I skin the bean itself as well as the skin can be tough.Leftover nettle/egg stuff in chicory leaves, again with beans and halloumi.
I topped my chicory boats with some extra mayo to make it taste a little less 'healthy' and added smoked paprika mainly to make it look pretty
I still have some beans left, and half a pack of halloumi, so I'll need to think of what to have with that tomorrow.
Can someone tell me the proper name for these beans, and for the other (shorter, round and darker green) green coloured beans? Or do they interchangeably go by the names green beans or string beans?
Meant to say, a nice easy recipe for the just green beans (haricot vert or otherwise) is cook them to whatever texture you like. Dot an ovenproof dish with bits of butter, put the beans in and scatter grated Cheddar over the top. Season with salt if required and cayenne pepper for a bit of heat. Add some cream on top (not lots). Mix then add more cheese on top, few more dots of butter and put in the oven for 20 mins.Ah, it's as confusing as I feared!
The flat ones I ate today are snijbonen, the shorter round ones are sperziebonen (and if they are thinner and three times as expensive they're suddenly called haricots verts, fitting with your french beans I think). Then there is kouseband, the very long variety, well known from our former colony of Suriname, and I also love peultjes (snow peas) and sugar snaps, which I suppose are sugar snaps in both our languages.
I love tuinbonen (broad beans?) as well, but you only eat the peas from those, not the thing surrounding them.
I cant wrap my head around the interchangable names of the flat and the round ones, they taste completely different!
I have a feeling this recipe will be perfect for about every vegetable!Meant to say, a nice easy recipe for the just green beans
On my PC I simply go to the thread I want to link and copy whatever is in the search bar to paste it wherever I want to post.

I feel a lot better now, just have wait it out till I get the results in a couple of weeks and have to do it all again for the problem to be fixed.That’s a pretty shocking breakfast! Hope you’re feeling better.

Craig, have you not been diagnosed with diabetes yet? My son is the one who has it here, and he just found out about it. I am a borderline diabetic, but I've been borderline for years. Hoping to head off full-blown diabetes. My breakfast was greek yogurt and whole wheat cereal and almond slivers and dates (in the cereal). My oven isn't working, so it's so hard to cook for Sam. We're both trying to go low carb. It takes time to adjust, I think. Rome wasn't built overnight! My advice is to take is one day at a time.
French style peas is another one that chopped, fried pancetta goes well with. I think it's a Jamie Oliver recipe (although I do have a little recipe book of nothing but peas so it might be that).I didn't have a second meal yesterday - too tired to do anything. So today I made the (supposedly) French style peas. I like peas, but not any kind of green beans, nor have I enjoyed cooking lettuce in the past but I decided to make an effort. It was fab! I made enough for at least 2 meals, but it was sooo good that I finished it all. No more food today.
I fried off half a chopped onion in oil and butter, then added a chopped up potato (naughty me) and fried that off as well. I added some lemon pepper and salt and then about 150 g French beans. Then about 1/2 litre of veg stock and a whole pile (didn't measure but about 150 g) of frozen peas. Then a whole cos lettuce in 2 cm (approx) slices. Cooked for about 1/2 hour. Couldn't resist having the whole lot for my brunch.
I'll ask Neil to get me some more green beans next time he goes to the shops.
@Annb (and Antje77 - possibly one you can use) - it was a Jamie Oliver recipe but, as usual, I changed it. Here's the main recipe. All I did with this was exclude the flour ( I just reduced the stock,) However, I did fry off chopped pancetta which I added at the end AND I also put shaved parmesan on it before serving. You're right Ann, it is delicious although I'd forgotten about it until you mentioned it.French style peas is another one that chopped, fried pancetta goes well with.
