    Maybe pre-grown mushies!

      ... ah, but if your broad bean is really young and fresh - then there's nothing better : raw, - with a splash of olive oil, squish of lemon, grind of black pepper, shaving of parmesan / gran padano. Have been shelling quantities of such (in an Italian garden) - and we think they are just lovely...

        It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.
