Yes, we all love fava beans here at the Department of Redundancy Department. Broad bean, Windor bean, fava bean, horse bean, field bean: all the same bean. There are basically two kinds in Europe, varietal V. faba faba (or major) which is the bean grown for humans, with two sub-sub-groups: the longer beans with 8 or so beans in the pod, and the shorter, four-bean, Windor bean. Horse beans or field beans are V. faba equina and grown mostly for animal fodder.
