My kids like lentils!!!!! Try it! It's a veg too!

Merchant Gourmet ready-to-eat lentils in a foil pouch from Waitrose (have seen them in Morrisons though) - fantastic things! Stirred them in to pasta with peas and sweetcorn, cold on a 'salad' of grated carrot, cheese and mayonnaise.
Even my DH likes them and he hates all things beanie.

But do beware:

Beans and other pulse vegetables - such as kidney beans, lentils and chick peas - count only once a day in the five a day, however much you eat. While pulses contain fibre, they don't give the same mixture of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients as fruit and vegetables.

something very spooky happened tonight
I was in the queue at Waitrose and a pack of these were on their own on the side - i had never heard of them before this thread yesterday
Anyway have bought them to try

[dinny]

they are delish - have you tried the yoghurt and cumin rice one? (or something like that)

[oggsfrog]

Eh? Dd likes lentils anyway, without the poncy pouch

We have them in curry, soup, and some pasta dishes.

[CountessDraculaPI]

yes so does mine
I had to buy though as it was like an omen

[oggsfrog]

I love Waitrose, but we don't have one nearby They have 'nice' food .

CD, just shake some out into a bowl with raisins and stick it under their noses while they're watching tv! Call them fairie poos or something.
