Grasshopper head soup

Ok, we make some killer Lentil and Sausage Soup/stews. Honestly, it is restaurant quality. On that note, we like pretty much all the legumes. They are good in fiber, stretch your meat budget, and are low on the glycemic index.

However, you do need to check them for stones and other matter, as well as wash them before using (these are the dry legumes of course).

The funny thing is, and it is only with Lentils, every time I look through them or my wife does, we find a grasshopper head. It doesn't matter the brand or part of country I buy them in. Just the head mind you. It seems these insects craniums are the perfect size for the lentil shucking machine.

So... if you are eating lentils and get something crunchy, you will now wonder what it is.

Oh, and it only ever one head too. Maybe there is a dude there that sticks it in like a Tequila worm.

thinking ahead to stick the beans in water the day before is a pain. I think.

True, but lentils you don't have to do that.
