    Our local health food stopped selling dry puy lentils but we have found that Julian Graves stock them. Think they were £1.89 for 500g.

    They tend to be packaged in a 'posh' range rather than in the basic bags. But they still work out as a thrifty food.

    Tesco sell puy lentils.

    We do a Nigella thing with sausages - could use veggie ones I guess?

    You could make a veggie shephards pie

    This one uses green lentils but I'm sure it would work with others

    Can they be made with puy instead of black lentils?
