The beans are in – a little green haricot vert type, ‘gold rush’ yellow wax, and a gorgeous purple-streaked dual purpose bean – dragon langerie.

I’m not entirely sure what the correct french pronunciation of dragon langerie is, but when a customer asked at market what kind of beans they were, Caitlin replied dragon lingerie. As in underwear.

The lady in question did not seem particularly amused by this answer and continued to poke at the beans. Meanwhile, I rolled around in the back of the truck, consumed by giggles. There’s something about the idea of a dragon in a pink triangle top. Come on now. That’s clearly funny.

From now on, they’re dragon tongue beans. No translation necessary.
