Curiosities
Beans come from the same Peruvian ancestor. They are Phaseolus vulgaris.
In 1819 Thomas Jefferson wrote, “I have lived temperately, eating little animal food, and that … as a condiment for the vegetables, which constitute my principal diet.”
In The Virginia Housewife, published in 1824, Mary Randolph, a first cousin of Thomas Jefferson’s, had this to say about the French or snap bean: It should be picked young and prepared with the strings plucked, not “Frenched” by slicing them longitudinally. “Those who are nice,” she wrote, “do not use them at such a growth as to require splitting.
The Rolande is one of the sweetest varieties of haricot vert, revived from a French seed saver. Janet’s favorite sources for seeds are Territorial Seed Company; Baker Creek Heirloom; and Johnny’s Selected Seeds.
