[Sca-cooks] black-eyed peas was Spanish Pepper?

[Terry Decker]

Fava beans generally show up as faba or fava.  Phaseolus or fasoli were 
obviously not viewed as being favas.  The derivation of fasoli predates the 
arrival of the New World beans in Europe.  Black-eyed peas and a number of 
other Vignas are of Old World origin.  Modernly, black-eyed peas are 
included in the term fasoli, suggesting that they may have been the original 
fasoli and the similar New World beans were later included in the term.  To 
help cap the argument, take a look at Annibale Carracci's "The Bean Eater."
