What a disappointment, beans.

The green bean - the French bean - how this quintessential American food got that name, I'll explain - is the only fancy tasty bean. The rest, and sad stand-ins for when there's no meat.

And since the British diner - at home or in the colonies - doesn't use garlic, except as a cough remedy, it's unlikely they could even enjoy beans.
Except down south, where spiced and smoked pork, the cayan pepper, and rice are all conspiring to bring the black-eyed pea to a good place.

But alas - overall, the 18th century bean is a bummer. No garbanzos, no lentils - but surprise! Soy Beans!
