I have used lentils to make a "mince" base for chilli or bolognese for the veggies/vegans in the family and am quite satisfied with the result and taste. Committed carnivore myself but as I have a keen veggie chef in the family, am quite happy to leave catering to her.
As my dear old mum...
My Uncle, when he retired, moved to the cottage next to him on the edge of Romney Marsh.
Uncle shared a love of animals and had a few items of livestock. They used to keep an eye on each others creatures and dogs and my uncles opinion of him was ..."a damn nice fellow.."
At the behest of an old school friend (Man City fan/Lewes fan) I went to this game with him and his partner (Arsenal fan) and was very pleasantly surprised by the ground, atmosphere and standard of football. Unfortunately I was driving but it was pleasing to see the Harvey's flowing freely...
