    Tried frying the pods yesterday and a vast difference in taste as expected. Just like chips taste much different to boiled spuds.
    As I said on your earlier thread about your constipation, my advice is similar.
    Order a Lamb Ceylon or Phal, and mix in a hand full of mangy toos, and both of your problems will be solved.  :)

    At no point in the thread have I said that I have constipation. If ever I am in court, I hope you are not on jury service.
  • That was worth your 19 pence then - glad you enjoyed them :)
    Ha ha ha, yes indeed you are not wrong.

     Actually it gets better. Just had a salad in the big deep dish. I cut 6 'pods' up in to 1cm pieces-helps with chewing . But just like the stew, I still don't know what they taste like raw. I put such a variety in to the salad. Well someone told me it's the 'spice of life.  :)

    When the Daddies sauce goes in, there is not much chance. The main flavour is probably  from  the large amount of cottage cheese.   

    However, there is still a big handful of Mange left to try raw. Must have been intended for a family, or a strict vegatarian. It won't  go to waste  :D

    Have you got somewhere you can grow them @young codger?
    I used to grow in among other planting when the girls were little, but the more recent ones have been in pots. One large pot with 3 plants in it gives a good harvest. 

    I'm assuming the seed is still viable, so if you want some, I can send you a wee amount in an envelope. Just PM me your address if you fancy giving them a go.  :)
    That is kind of you Fairygirl, thank you. I will PM you.

    I was recently thinking what (veg) I could grow. I thought about Asparagus, but have not looked online to see what the requirements are for it. I think it takes 2 years to harvesting time?

     I have cleared an area and planted (whips) fruit trees. As I have spaced the trees out there is plenty of room for a few veg inbeween.
