anyone know what Schweinsohr beans are?

In Argentina we grew and ate a bean called Schweinsohr, or Schweinohr by the German community, it is a large bean shaped like a pig's ear, (hence the name, translated "pig's ear beans") These beans were especially good in salads. I'm hoping someone will recognize the term, and maybe know of a common name for them. If the question seems strange, yes a lot of German folk live in Argentina, and keep the language.

    Sorry I never got back, it's only 5 years later. :) I found the bean, it's the hyacinth bean. Although some varieties are quite poisonous, apparently others are eaten quite heartily. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lablab
