Butter Bean Stew



Courgette (home grown)

I also had a bit of this apple and prune cake from the brilliant Daphna's cheesecake factory. Daphna is the don of South Liverpool cake distribution. She runs a firm of old ladies across the Allerton and Hunts Cross area who's home baking is as addictive as crack cocaine. Anyway, this was the first time I'd ever actually eaten a prune and I was pleasantly surprised. It's not that the laxative associations had put me off- it's just that in my adult life there have been loads of things I've discovered that I had refused to eat as a child. For instance, I didn't eat an orange until I was 22- in some people's worldview this is considered a bit odd.

Mmmm...that cake looks amazing. Do they just distribute in Liverpool or is it a nationwide enterprise?
I was just wondering where the butterbeans had gone in your list of ingredients - not that I'm picky or anything! Did you really not eat an orange until you were 22? Was there a war on?

Only the first Gulf war. That just meant that there was a shortage of dates and I have never eaten one of those either.

The butter beans were spoiling my home grown full house.
