Balleye Bean, Bindweed, what begins with B?

BALLEYE BEAN (#9/30, #99/365) [TTHA] 

Appearance: This is a long pale vine covered in green and purple leaves with pink or purple flowers, and long green seedpods, that gathers in heavy bush-like aggregates.

Distribution: Plains, hills and mountains across Titan.

 

Effects: Balleye Beans are a staple foodcrop across Titan. As Wilbur Chubb of the Hamelin Fair once sung, in 'Quest for the Golden Key':

 

'I like gold keys and pickles and cheese,

I like gold keys and beans and peas,

I like gold keys and bumblebees,

I like gold keys and old oak trees.'

 

The seedpods and the balleye beans within them are highly edible. Ripe beans taste delicious and eating a bag of them will restore 3 STAMINA points. They are just as likely as to be served in a curry in Khare or eaten with pickled radish on the Islands of the Dawn. Typically, they are grown on bean-poles, a normal part of any garden. The blue roof-tiled buildings of fair Salamonis legendarily have their balconies wreathed in decorative flowers and vegetable plants such as Balleye Beans.

BINDWEED (#10/30, #100/365) [TTHA] 

Appearance: This is a long green vine covered in dark green triangular leaves and white, trumpet-shaped flowers, with pale green seedpods.

Distribution: Forests, hills, plains and riverbanks across Titan.

 

Effects: The seeds, if harvested from the pods and eaten have a mild hallucinogenic effect. Anyone eating a bag of seeds may ask double the number of questions usually allowed when using the Commune priestly power. The seeds are a laxative though, and any food eaten for the next day will only restore 1 STAMINA point per meal.
