Thank you Judy, you put me on the right track. I was in error when I thought theses were palourdes; these are in fact what we call in France lentilles vertes du Puy.
They look like mussels to me ... it has been so long since I have had one of those lovely pots full of seafood in broth with a dab of tomato thrown in ... What are they ? Did you eat them ? Will you eat them ? I wish I was there now- we are having some sort of "tropical storm" ...
Yes, lentilles vertes du Berry. See the next post. I was surprised when I saw the photos of the lentils in that tight close-up, so I had to post it. It's two crops of the same picture.
Sorry to have missed out on the puzzle...some of us a real sleuths lol. I rarely miss a morning here, but Christmas is getting in the way here and Grandmother chores an hour's drive away. Lentils are good with rice btw.
Chowder do,
ReplyDeleteA man of very few words today...
why you clam up all of sudden?
They look even more pretty after going through the technical mill of Photoshop or whatever.
ReplyDeleteBut do you know what they are? The only photoshopping I did was cropping.
DeleteI think these are palourdes a.k.a. clovisses.
ReplyDeleteI think they are dry beans of some kind, or dried seed pods, like from a squash. :)
