Chocomouse when I was growing up we called them pole beans,they are flat but you never shell them.If fresh you just snap them in inch lengths and we like them cooked with red potatoes cut up or very small ones leaving the skin on the potato.The ones I cooked the other night was actually canned ones from grocery store.If you google Italian green beans the ones I use are Allens Italian green beans.When I cook fresh ones I pull the end that comes off the vine down the bean as it has a tough string sometimes.You can tell if it'll be tough or not.The beans are more pod than pea inside.When I googled it said some are called bush beans.We love them.I season mine with bacon or a small piece of hog jowl and a little salt.When I cook them fresh I cook beans a little to almost done then add potatoes till they are tender,canned ones I heat together at same time,quick and easy.
