The red kidney bean Nabs is referring to here is a variety of the common bean, which derives from the Americas, and was unknown to Europeans before Columbus.

Wot woz said at #2 and #3: Chili and beans make it chili con carne with noodles, not spag bol. Also, <i>bolognaise</i> is troppo francese: bolognese. Also also: beans are American, discovered well after Dante was dispatched to Beatrice. Love your work etc, but pedantry’s got the better of me on this one.
