Maybe there are where you live but I haven't seen them here. I don't think
I would like a green bean salad and AFAIK they have bred the strings out of
beans. At least we can't get them here. I don't like salad dressing at all
and that is my big complaint with salads like that. I like roasted green
beans once in a while. I sure wouldn't want them two days in a row no
matter how they are.

ya , it is nice topic.
