French Bean

The French Bean is a herbicidal annual plant grown worldwide and commonly added to meals to lower the diner's enjoyment.

The French Bean's botanical name; Phaseolus vulgaris translates to; 'Squeaky tubes of sadness'. The first mention in literature of French Beans was a recommendation by famous Greek know-it-all Plinny the Elder (b 1066AD) '...for their tiresome squeaking and lack of tayste rendereth any repast less edible, and so guards against gluttony'.
