We always had canned green beans when I was a kid. They were one
of the very, very few vegetables I would eat. I doused them with
vinegar and preferred them cold.
Nowadays, fresh green beans are da bomb (and the only ones I'll use
for Nicoise), but I'll settle for frozen. I cook them just past the
point of squeaking.

========================
I grow green beans and like Sheldon says, they grow at differing rates. I
certainly don't grow the huge numbers he talks about though.
I've never had canned beans and I am not keen on frozen so I stick with
growing them.
