Close up

Can you tell what these are?


Maybe this slightly longer view will help.


C'est tout pour aujourd'hui.

    1. But do you know what they are? The only photoshopping I did was cropping.

  3. I think these are palourdes a.k.a. clovisses.

  4. I think they are dry beans of some kind, or dried seed pods, like from a squash. :)

    1. 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.

  5. 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" ...

  7. A very tight close up of lentils..... are the the Berry ones?

  8. 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.

  9. 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.
