Yard Long Beans

Last week, while planting the garden, I heard we were planting yard long beans.  I assumed this was a string bean or something...

... well, I was way off.  When they say yard LONG bean, they really mean it!   They are about the length of my arm.  

These beans can be used to make a salad substituting the bean for papaya in Som Tam--- it is great!  I think my dad would go crazy for this type of salad- it is spicy and delicious!  Aroy li li!
