Epicure's Latest Homework Assignment:


I de-stemmed a box of Filet beans yesterday, and wanting to get more than a sore neck out of the deal, decided to find out exactly what filet beans were.

I couldn't find out what inspired the name, but filet beans are haricots vert, or French green beans. They're skinny, generally short (4" or less) have little seed or string development, and a sweet flavor. Every site that I went to revered them as the "best" green bean.

Good to know that I spent an hour with the best green beans.
