Guernsey bean jar

Okay kiddo, let me explain to you what a Guernsey bean jar is!

You know how we eat food every day to stay healthy and strong? Well, a bean jar is a kind of food that people in Guernsey, which is a tiny island in the English Channel, have been eating for hundreds of years.

First, you need some ingredients to make this special dish. Some dried beans, carrots, onions, and pork are the most important ones. Then, you put them in a pot with some water and let them simmer for many hours, until all the flavors come together and create a delicious stew.

The reason it's called a bean jar is that back in the old days, people used to cook this dish in a jar that they buried underground, along with some hot stones, for several hours. The heat would slowly cook the dish, and when it was ready, they would dig it up and enjoy it with their family and friends.

Nowadays, people still make Guernsey Bean Jar, but they usually cook it on the stove or in the oven, which is much easier and faster. The dish is still very popular in Guernsey, especially during the winter months, when people want something warm and hearty to eat.

So, that's what a Guernsey bean jar is, a delicious and traditional stew that has been passed down from generation to generation in Guernsey, using simple and wholesome ingredients. I hope you try it one day, it's really yummy!
