Lentils are one of those things that I don't like but in the curry, can't remember which one, from our local takeaway, it's one of my favourites. FIL often says 'come and try this lentil stew, it might be a bit too hot for you'. Both Paul and I always refuse as neither of us like them. I've never bought them or had them in the house. Neither of us like pearl barley either. Wish we did because I could put a handful of either in and cut down on cost and meat.
