As to the favas, I first experienced them back in the 50s when one of our neighbors was from Egypt. Hmmmm, seems to me they were called ful (pronounced fool) something or another. Reminded me of refried beans with lots of garlic and cumin but also a taste of lemon. Quite good.
However, I don't like them because they are a PITA. <g>? Is this some reference I might find vulgar? :)
Being a history nut (both history history and food history), I found it interesting to follow their path from deep in the Mediterranean to them being considered to somehow be credited as something English.You might have heard the story about how Pythagoras was opposed to eating beans (favas, of course) and forbade all his disciples to eat them as well. It's been speculated that he had favism (a severe allergy to them).
