Hare's-foot #clover, #Trifolium #arvense (#Fabaceae), is native to Europe/Western Asia and inhabits dry, sandy, nitrate-poor #habitats. #Seeds are enclosed in feathery calyxes that protect against desiccation, serve as #flightorgans, but also adhere to animals. It hosts #symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria (paraphyletic "#Rhizobia"), which S. Schulz et al. (2013) analyzed in more detail via functional marker gene nifH.

Looking for a sausage & #beans #food picture in my #photoArchive I came across this "Colourful Cultural Chilli Con Carne" photo I took back in #2012.

Ingredients:
#FieldPeas (#Kapucijners, #PisumSativum var. #arvense)
spiced #pork 'kebab'
colourful veggie mix (carrots, corn, green peas, bell pepper, IIRC)
#periPeri garlic sauce
pickled silver onions
pickled gherkin

@jamestomasino oh, and of course there is the thing I grew up with in the Netherlands:
A very plain and simple #Kapucijners with #spekkies.
#FieldPeas (#PisumSativum var. #arvense) with fried #lard dice.
Usually served with spoonful of the fat that was rendered out of the lard.

I think it traditionally was eaten with a bit of sugar syrup, though I preferred to eat it with a bit of curry-spiced ketchup.
