Well,

Cash is a major convert. I ran out of fresh and he just 'looked at me all
sad eyed' so I grabbed a can, rinsed them well, and tried one on him. By
george! He LIKES canned green beans!

I dipped out about 3 TB broth (one of the stronger batches of consomme)
and added a little bit of sesame oil to one been and watched him taste it.
He wagged tail so we added 2drops to his dish (nice flavor, good for his
coat). Daisy-chan (cat) licked his bowl clean when he was done. (she
likes sesame oil too and gets a few drops now and again).

Since this is just harmless filler (about 1/4 cup) as he's dieting down,
looks like we have a winner here. Makes him happy to have a full cup of
chow even if it's partly green beans. He even picked them off the top and
ate them first, saving one for a treat at the end it looked like.

I don't usually use canned green beans, but I think Muttley enjoyed some
fresh string beans after I cooked them. I found some dried, salted green
beans at a shop in Grantsville, MD and Muttley and I both enjoyed them,
although they were a bit expensive. However, I found they were even much
more expensive here at the PA Dutch Market. On-line I found them for $6 per
two ounces! http://www.nutsonline.com/snacks/sim...reenbeans.html

There should be a way to make them at home.
