spekbonen

Non-PRO Nederlands naar Engels Overig Voedsel & zuivel vegetables
From the same wholesaler's/exporter's list as mentioned in my previous question. I know that 'spekbonen' are like a plumper, juicier version of 'snijbonen' but do not know what they would be called in English(UK).

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Snap bean of (Climbing) French bean

To me - as a layman (leek! in Dutch :-) - it seems that 'bush bean' is a genus and 'spekboon' is a certain specie of that genus.
It's not clear to me what the right translation should be, so it's a kind of educated guess.
Resources:
>(Culibase): pronkboon = runner bean
>(André Fairchild's glossaries): runner bean, pole bean = spercieboon

Bush bean

According to an old seed catalogue spekboon and slaboon is the same.
Van Dale gives as translation: bush bean, slaboon snijboon, pronkboon, spekboon ( Phaseolus vulgaris humilis )

Hope this helps.
