[Sca-cooks] The truth about Green Beans Savory in Meridies

[Ginny Beatty]

Hmm...
I am serving green beans this weekend at Harvest Day/Tournament of
Chivarly- without cheese, though, just a side of bacon vinaigrette.
Cheese is more expensive than meat. Bacon's been very popular in the
Midrealm lately, to the point of evoking battle cries of "Baco
Invictus!"

For said bean, I found a reference to a woodcut in Fuchs, as discussed
here on Clifford Wright's site.

"The earliest depiction of a New World bean in Europe is thought to be
the woodcut in the herbal published by Leonhart Fuchs in 1543. "
