Toxins are everywhere, Alan. Get used to it. Just because you have a name
for something you can't see doesn't change the fact that fresh string beans
are at particular times, for particular people, and in particular amounts,
quite delicious and satisfying, resulting in no toxic effects. You're
right, I am not well educated about what can be eaten raw. I leave it to my
tongue. Pity all those poor animals (primates even) who don't know about
the multi-syllabic toxins and Alan's list of right and wrong foods. ;)
Humor aside, that is.

Cheers,
Kirt
