Grey peas? Ful medames?

[edit]

These look and taste very like the species eaten as grey paes in the West Midlands - often in the autumn and with bacon. These are certainly maple peas, as are some versions of the Egyptian ful medames. I'm guessing they are simply different cultivars of the same thing - if indeed they are different at all. Can anyone clarify? I'd like to see these properly linked or merged in an appropriate way if my suspicion is well-founded. I have eaten the black peas at Bury market and they seem identical to the peas we in the Black Country eat on bonfire night: odd, though, that they aren't sold alongside the great Bury black puddings. I've prepared ful mesdames for years, soaking and pressure-cooking maple peas, and even bought them in tins imported from Egypt, which taste exactly the same as the ones I cook. Hard to tell the difference between the three, although the Egyptian ones may be consistently a touch browner in shade. All great, simple, cheap, traditional food, so I'd like to see the mystery cleared up, and the shared culinary heritage of the human race vindicated, if possible.

Carlin peas: Cajanus cajanwas?

[edit]

I've found several references to carlin peas being Cajanus cajanwas, but not from scientific sources. Given that this is a rather odd Latin name, and that I've seen a couple of misprints in scientific papers where a space between cajan and the English word "was" is omitted, e.g. "... standard petal of Cajanus cajanwas indented ..., "air-dried bark (1.0 kg) of Cajanus cajanwas collected", "Cajanus cajanwas ploughed and harrowed", I have the impression that carlin peas may actually be pigeon peas, Cajanus cajan. If not, I still doubt the name Cajanus cajanwas. Does anybody have authoritative sources on the botanical name of carlin peas? (By the way, the culprit for adding Cajanus cajanwas to the article was me, but I'm having second thoughts.) Pol098 (talk) 20:28, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
