I know this is a bit random to come back to. But the jar she was eating from - it was butter beans right? I’m amazed none of them recognised them, if not from looking, from tasting them. Or am I just coming at this from a bit of a middle class London POV? They’ve always been available, though usually sold in tins over here. But they were part of dinners in my childhood and that was AGES ago (I’m old!)
