OK.. I will admit, I did not know that was what a pre-picked lentil looked like. Which got me thinking around what else I did not know about lentils - and don't imagine I am suicidally bored, or at the wrong end of a bag of California's finest gummies. There is always a tin in the cupboard, thanks to Vanessa, who will gleefully stir them into to pretty much anything. I saw lentils more as a food to be consumed when all else is gone. When the sirens blast, sending us scurrying undeground to weather out a nuclear winter. But that might change. I was urged to add them to the Bolognaise last night, to produce some toothy bulk in a sauce that we both agreed, seemed a bit on the thin side.
