    Solution

    The word ‘course’ here is incorrect. It should be replaced with ‘coarse’. Course- a set of classes or a plan of study on a particular subject, usually leading to an exam or qualification. Coarse- rough and not smooth or soft, or not in very small pieces. The coarse texture and mild flavour of the beans contrasted nicely with the saltiness of the smoked ham and the richness of the sausage.
