2.lupine

1. Chives are grown for their leaves, which are used for culinary purposes as a flavoring herb. Chives are used with pancakes, soups, quark dishes, fish and sandwiches. The flowers may also be used to garnish dishes.

2. The yellow legume seeds of lupins, commonly called lupine beans, were popular with the Romans. The name 'Lupin' derives from the Latin word 'Lupinus' (meaning 'of or belonging to a wolf') But the seeds are not just eaten by wolves. Lupin beans are commonly sold in a salty solution in jars (like olives and pickles) and can be served as an aperitif.
