The mystery of the giant beans.

[prog]

My landlord left me a tasty dinner (in a plastic bag suspended from my door handle; she does this often). I'm enjoying it now. But what I took to be pasta when I popped it in the microwave is actually beans. Very large beans, each kidney-shaped and the size of a medium shell or a small ravioli or something. They're pale, and have a pleasantly bland taste. Good with veggies (incl.), but: the biggest beans I've ever seen.

What am I eating? I hope it isn't actual kidneys. I bet not; they're very beany, whatever they are.

sounds like lima beans. could also be fava beans.

My guess is fava beans.

Sounds like fava beans to me, too. Which, pop culture references whisper in my ear, makes your fear of actual kidneys plausible.

Snork!
You just ruined a perfectly good drink by making it come out my nose!

whatever they are, you can harvest them for 4 gold if you get 11 of them.

Do they taste good with a nice Chianti?

Lol... I'm guessing that they're fava beans, too ;-)
