beware...not all called "pea" is really a pea...."blackeyed peas", for
example are really beans and so new world (and not appropriate for medieval
re-enactors).

You want stuff out of the pea/lentil/fava/garbanzo family, nitrogen fixers,
vetch leaves, etc
not the fasiolis ie bean/string bean/lima bean/scarlet runner bean/etc family.

not sure about the other varieties...you could tell by the latin name, I bet!
