This is my mother snapping green beans for dinner. Ever since I can remember someone has done that at camp. We used to sit on the dock and she'd do it when I was a kid. She would use the end of the vegetable peeler to cut them into French-style slices, or just snap the ends off. It was sort of a social event, my aunt & cousins sitting there in the sun with her.
