From our
kitchen to yours
By T.A. ghost writer Heavenly Devine
Do you know what these
names all have in common:
Sword, Sabre, Velvet,
Cherry or Cow? Perhaps
these will help: Jack,
Horse, Field, Long, or
Broad. They are all varie-
ties of beans. Some have
been cultivated and used
since ancient times. The
Romans grew beans for food, fodder and to plough back into
the soil. Beans were also used in voting. A black bean signi-
fied a no vote and a white one a yes vote. The Greeks also
used the same system.
Broad beans remained an unchanging staple food in England
from Roman times to at least the Middle Ages. -They were al-
ways the food of the common people, and usually served with
bacon, probably the meat most frequently eaten by the work-
ing man during the winter months.
Beans became the major ingredient of most winter soups and
stews. H,Qrse-bread, made from bean flour, perhaps Horse
beans, thus the name, also became a staple especially for the
rural peasant during years of bad harvest. (It may also have
gotten its name from the fact that it was cooked for the
stables.) Because bean flour did not make a very tasty bread,
and it did not hold together well, the breads were not popular,
and only eaten in times of hardship. However, until the late
1800's, some bakers in Britain continued to use bean and pea
flour to stretch the more costly wheat flours, until at last a law
was passed governing additions to food.
The natives of the New World were cultivating the been long
before Columbus or the Pilgrims landed. Lima beans take their
name from Lima, Peru, where they were found in ancient
tombs. Spaniards took samples of many types of beans back
home to Europe where they gained wide acceptance. Their im-
portance grew, and they were returned to the Americas in a
much improved form.
Some beans are picked and eaten at a very young stage,
when both the pod and the undeveloped seed are consumed.
Some of these stringless or snap beans have green pods while
others are yellow.
Other beans which are eaten in quantity in North America in-
clude kidney, pinto and navy (commonly called white) beans.
These latter are most often used in baked beans. These types of
beans, are called dry beans because they are most often eaten
when fully ripe. Many of these kinds of beans have much
greater food value than any other vegetable. They are very rich
in proteins and carbohydrates, and are often eaten as a substi-
tute for meat.
A friend shared the following recipe with mc, I hope you en-
joy it.

Clean up or be penalized
Dear Editor:
I commend the council for last
week's write-up.
Exeter is an exceptional clean
town, and I arin guilty of placing a
small pile of green, short limbs a
week ahead, but not intentionally
and I'm sorry for it. If I repeat, 1
should be penalized with or with-
out a bylaw, I have never done it
before.
There is another disgusting an-
noyance where dogs do dirty jobs
on the sidewalk
and people step
around it and
y ride11)
their bikes through
it and walk through
it. I've stepped on it
cutting grass, dragged the electric
cord through and had to wipe it off
and clean it out of the mower and
took one pair of shoes and threw
them in the garbage. The dog by-
law says catch the dog and retain it
until the dog catcher comes from
Dashwood.
I've been bit several times al-
ways from dogs that don't bite, tru-
ly a dog bylaw with no teeth in it.
I want to commend the lady who
stopped and cleaned up the job her
dog had done Saturday evening.
She's the only one I've seen do that
in the 25 yews I've lived here.
Lloyd Lovell
Reinter says of Camelot "This
classical story with music returns
us to the place and time when we
dreamed our most romantic ideas.
This production is dedicated to the
dreams and ideas of Tony Lloyd."
Following Camelot Reimer will
go into pre -production, directing
Anne of Green Gables for an
American tour.
