You are absolutely correct that 'somehow' is the indicator and that you are left with aaeiu, bdkns. Given that you are looking for legumes, you could try taking out the letters for 'beans' and see what is left! I would be most surprised if you didn't know of this legume.

Sadly I had taken out beans leaving me with aiu, d&k and I have nothing until a split second ago...

Also a little play on a Flann O'Brien story which is short enough to put here:

Keats and Chapman were conversing one day on the street, and what they were conversing about I could not tell you. But anyway there passed a certain character who was renowned far and wide for his piety, and who was reported to have already made his own coffin, erected it on trestles, and slept in it every night.

‘Did you see our friend?’ Keats said.

‘Yes,’ said Chapman, wondering what was coming.

‘A terrible man for his bier,’ the poet said.
