We had green beams today for lunch, and I was finking…. green beams and other beams, such as kidney beams, navy beams and black beams are all known scientifically as Phaseolus vulgaris. They are all referred to as “common beams,” probably owing to the fact that they all deribed from a common beam ancestor that originated in Peru. I finking about dat, but they were tasty anyway, eben wiff all that science.
