Well the answer to question one is: This is French for green beans; Haricot meaning beans and vert meaning green. And here is a link to the French pronunciation: http://virtualfrenchtutor.com/site.php/spgs/read/frenchg/
Haricot vert is indeed French for green beans. Haricot meaning beans and vert meaning green. French green beans are longer and thinner than most American varieties. They are also more tender and have a more complex flavor. But mine came from a cookbook no clue on pronunciation(sp)
Thanks for participating, foodies would know this stuff. I listened to the fancy lady cook on The Next Food Network Star talk about her "hairy co-vair" and they were indeed thin green beans. I have a lovely english pronunciation site that says "airy co-vair". Be sure and gargle the third syllable. R
