I only used to eat runner beans when cooked, but many years ago now, I observed my mother-in-law's tortoise eating raw runner beans with great enthusiasm. So I tried one and found that I liked it.
Oswin does too. Really likes them. Can eat several in a day.
Today, she was eating a slice of cake. Grandad came in with fresh supply of runner beans from the allotment and gave her half of a runner bean.
She took it with great delight, ate it at once, and only then went back to the cake.
I love a three year old who appreciates allotment veg!
