eat Washington > Borlotti beans, fresh

eat Washington > Borlotti beans, fresh: "Can't wait to get back over to Han Ha Reum, otherwise known simply as H :-) When I lived in Hungary, the northwestern part of the country (Sopron and environs) was known as bean country, and in the town of Sopron itself there was an area called the 'bean district,' which was largely settled by people of German and Austrain descent. They grew beans in between rows of other crops and would make many different dishes from them, including babpogacs (bean biscuits)and a wonderful simple salad called babsalata (bean salad) comprised of borlotti bean with red onions, garlic, and a sweet and sour dressing. Hmmm...I'll have to include those two recipes in the cookbook I'm working on ;-)"
