Broad beans

Or Fava beans as they're known in the US (and maybe other places too).  Anyway there are masses of the now and it could be I've planted slightly too many.  Bit close together too so I'll remember that for next year, and do what the planting instructions actually said!

They taste very good in a Tapas thing (with pancetta, sherry and a bit of Pimento).  Bit of a discussion on eating them raw and whether they ate toxic or not - turns out they're ok to eat raw and there's a nice JamieO recipe in his Italian book for raw beans on bruschetta.

Ciao for now.
