So, I noticed -- what I think is some sort of acacia, possibly catclaw -- is putting forth these pods that look like fat green beans. The leaves look more feathery than those of a catclaw though.

So I grabbed a few

I grilled some, and some I left green

But I still haven't worked up the nerve to try one.
If they are what I think they are, they were traditionally ground up, and served as a mush or cake.
I'm thinking of boiling them in a couple changes of water, and then giving them a taste.
What think you? Anyone have experience with these?
