Bean in my olives?

I bought a couple of packs of olives at Winco last week. They came in
plastic bags. There are probably 6 servings per pack. I bought two
different kinds (the had more) and one is a mix of olives. It also has some
red and yellow peppers in there and there was a bean! The bean looked like
a butter bean. It was crunchy! It was very good all soaked in that brine.
Has anyone ever seen this before? I have bought a lot of olives in my life
but have never seen a bean in there. I'd like to get more of these beans.
Does anyone know what it is? Can I buy just the beans?

I bought the mixed ones. I looked on the package and they are lupini beans.
They have a website but it's all in French. I didn't do so well in French.
Has anyone seen these beans just put in olive type brine by themselves? Or
any other way? I want some!

Julie, research or write the manufacturer or distributor and ask
if they know of this or whether they make a similar product with
beans, eh? I'd be interested to find an olive-cured bean.

remove the outer husk before eating, which I did not do. Cento is one

I love this, encountering something pleasant by mistake and now
being relegated to searching for it over and over till the day you die
if you don't find it first. It's like buying a pair of good athletic
shoes and when you go back to buy another pair they no longer make
them, so you have to hunt all over again for a new pair. Or like when
your barber dies and now you have to go find a new one who's going to
do as good a job. Finding that accidental bean has you so revved up
with joy it's driving you crazy. I think it's funny. But you're
right, they probably do keep the beans in brine. If not, you can be
the first to swing brined beans into production. And lastly, on a
somewhat anal-lytical note, could it be that you loved the bean
because it stood alone? Could it be that if it appeared in a can with
many other similarly shaped and tasting beans it would suddenly become
less desirable? Could it be that if you were eating a can of brined
beans such as the ones you seek and encountered a lone olive, you
might love the olive with the same unquenchable zeal that you now love
the lonesome bean.

I know they have tools for pitting olives, but I swear it still
amazes me to look at an olive without a pit and wonder how it came out
so clean. Sometimes when I get the ones without pits there might be a
small unseen bit of a pit left in there, so it's good to be careful
when chewing the ones without pits. This is an interesting thread,
like a detective novel, only shorter. First it was a bean. Then the
bean was identified by name. Now it's suspected to be a piece of
garlic. But the evidence is gone, eaten by the original poster whose
only proof of her own experience is her memory of it. Maybe it was
garlic, maybe it was a bean as she thought - perhaps we'll never
know. For the love of God we may never know the answer to this mind
numbing puzzle. But we're working it out. We'll get to the bottom of
this yet. All the way to the bottom of the pit.

Next time you are at the grocery store, look for "Baby pet alligator
