"Haricot: From Engravings to Dinner Plates, a Versatile Bean" In the world of culinary delights, haricot beans have played many roles throughout history. Known as "haricot, " "haricot-bean, " or even "Bohne" in different languages, this humble legume has made its mark on various cultures and cuisines. Dating back to the 1940s, a comic postcard humorously depicts the repetitive nature of baked beans for dinner. This simple dish was a staple during that era and continues to be enjoyed by many today. However, not all references to they are lighthearted. Another comic postcard portrays a family wearing gas masks during World War II when food shortages were prevalent. Haricot beans became an essential source of sustenance during those challenging times. Beyond their role in wartime meals, haricots come in different varieties such as runner beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) and green beans (Phaseolus vulgaris lucasianus). These versatile legumes can be dressed up in various ways and feature prominently in dishes like Fasulye piyaz – a Turkish delicacy consisting of salad with olive oil and lemon juice topped with halved boiled eggs. Not only are haricots delicious but they also offer health benefits. They belong to the kidney bean family known for their medicinal properties. In fact they can often featured in books about medicinal and herbal plants due to their nutritional value. Engravings from the Album Benary further highlight the beauty of these pulses. The intricate details captured by artists like G showcase how even something as seemingly ordinary as a bean can possess artistic charm. Whether you're enjoying them on your plate or admiring them through illustrations, it's clear that haricots have left an indelible mark on our culinary landscape.
