The old duffer was thrilled, Mr Pastry, by your enthousiam for the subject. He particularly liked your idea to make it compulsory to grow runner beans, and he'll be writing to his MP "this very evening", apparently...
"Have ready 3 litres of boiling water and a sinkful of very cold (iced) water
Work in batches of no more than 1lb.
Top, tail, string and cut across the bean, diagonally, into 1/2" pieces.
Put batch into boiling water, keep heat up, return to the boil and keep there for 2 mins.
Plunge batch into icy water and leave there for 2 mins.
Drain and freeze immediately.
Rapid heating up, then rapid cooling down, is the key." ( It does something to the sugars in the beans, apparently).
I have to say that it does seem a palaver, when you could be using the time out womanising, but supermarket frozen veg is rubbish, and womanising is not all it's made out to be...
