I cannot find the seed packet but what i thoguht were dwarf french beans have a red mottled skin.  My neighbour at lottie assures me they must be bolottie beans.  Is there a difference in how crop them and use them?

yes borlotti beans are eaten for the seeds so you shell them like peas

You can also eat them like french beans, unfortunately they lose their mottling in cooking
