Fain and Pods.. What?

From Luke 15v16 KING JAMES version of the Bible.

 "And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him."

I grew up on the King James version of the Bible.  The 17th Century word FAIN  made perfect sense to me.

Later I encountered the 1952  Revised Standard version. It was in a more modern English.

 In the RSV Luke 15v16 - version the text read . "and he would gladly have fed on the pods that the swine ate; and no one gave him anything"

As a child, whenever I read the word pods in this verse I saw this.

 

          I knew that they must have been Fava (Broad) Bean pods.  

As you may know I am nuts about Fava/Broad Beans and have been so glad to find them at the Amish Market in Pinecraft, Sarasota.

Here are some after I had de-podded them. 

I plan to eat them later today, but before I do so, will I take the easy or the hard way?

The easy way is to eat them raw; or to cook them "as is".

The hard way involves  the  laborious task of  stripping-off the tough outer skin of each bean;  thus making them more tender when cooked
