I think that field beans are essentially the beans that were a staple in Europe before Phaseolus vulgaris was imported from the Americas. So, for a true mediaeval flavour, you know what to grow :-) Erm, phaseolus vulgaris? French bean, surely? Vicia faber = broad bean. I remember this as my "local" used to have three barmaids named Phaseolus Multiflorus, Phaseolus Vulgaris, and later Vicia Faber. These names were singularly appropriate, if not well-liked. |
