I just had dal for breakfast. Not a huge variation of my usual, but instead used garlic, a couple dollops of T Joe's masala sauce and cilantro. Thanks for the inspiration guys.
PS - Aus Mal, did you use yours? I buy from the bulk foods section, so couldn't help you on the holey bag, but I wouldn't worry about it. (ditto telfes
)

I'm not quite sure what you mean - if you are saying that the plastic pack has been damaged, I suppose you could return it to the grocer for a refund or exchange? As with others, I eat them so much that I buy them in bulk. They're probably fine.
One thing I will say is that before cooking, it helps to place the lentils on a flat surfact and inspect, so as to sort out small twigs and even pebbles from the batch. And then rinse well before cooking.
Goya Foods has really good canned lentils, but I prefer making mine from scratch because it's so easy. Enjoy!

I love lentils, but my favorite lentil soup recipe requires sausage.
And, I don't think there's food in the world that give me worse wind.

Aus_Mal, I saw your handle in OMNI last night, so I take it you are "stronger" today? 
It's another batch of lentils again for me tonight. I have nothing else in the house that would make a balanced meal. What will my recipe be today...

Lol. Yeah the holes in the packaging are standard for this particular brand so nothing untoward! Still havn't used the lentils though. Think tomorrow night is the night depending on how I feel after getting home from work. All ingredients are ready for a nice Dahl and/or roast.
Mmmm. Sounds great already!

Although in this recipe, the meat indicated is "gammon" - I'm not sure what that is, but traditionally, this recipe calls for lamb. Of course, with stew, you can use whichever meat you like.

Well I did cook up my lentils tonight into a Dahl.
Was nice (not great) but nice.
I think this weekend I'll experiment with a Lentil Bake and/or a Lentil Soup. If anyone has any recipies for a bake that uses BreadCrumbs and doesn't require a blender and a million other ingredients, I'd be interested in knowing.
