Fava beans are the only beans I have heard of that exist today that were
eaten in the middle ages.
In a related question, what kind of pea is meant when a recipe calls for
peas? Many of the recipes call for a green or grene pea. However some
just mention peas. Is this the standard green peas I buy canned/frozen
today, some of the brown peas I can buy canned or something entirely
different?
