There is no way I am going to eat it. And I'm not feeding it to anyone else either. It is truly horrible.

And I didn't know you had to wash lentils. And I remember now why I don't buy lentils.

I suppose it will have to be a leak proof poly bag.

It took me ages round Waitrose to find all those ingredients. sad

I'm sorry Cari darling, but these are Waitrose Love Life ones and it says on the bag, "wash thoroughly".

Never mind. All is well. smile

EEK!!!!! Well we are all still alive which is something then

Perhaps it was just general advice as to personal hygiene? Waitrose takes its responsibility to its customers very seriously!

you can get ready peeled red onions from Ocado. They are not ready sliced though.

It'll have been festering a bit by now, but the loo might be the best bet (especially now)! grin

You haven't still got it, have you jingl? Not even I would eat it after all this time!

Ana Wed 08-Apr-15 20:48:58

After all, that's where most of it would have ended up anyway! grin

Marelli Wed 08-Apr-15 20:53:03

Exactly, Ana! grin

The dahl that unsettled my innards last week is now on the compost heap. Don't know what the worms there will make of it though.

By now it's probably made it's own way to wherever unwanted Dahl goes! envy

Don't you recycle food waste in your neck of the woods?

I too am fond of dal, whether red lentils or any of the other kinds... simple and quick to make. I cheat to the extent of adding a veg stock cube to the lentils as they are originally cooked, then it's tempered cumin seeds, onion, chopped green chilli and garlic, then salt and turmeric and finally the lentils.
