It is now it's trendy but it used to be very cheap, rather like lamb shanks are so pricy. There was a time when the butchers couldn't sell them and virtually gave them away.

Polish sausage and flageolet beans for us today. And it's the last of the flageolet beans as no-one seems to stock them any more.

They've disappeared from Sainsbury's as well. I have a nice recipe for tuna and bean salad but I have to substitute the beans with another type.
