We have two grocery stores in Gainesville that have all three types of lentils in bulk bins.you can buy any amount you want or mix and match as they are the same price.

well, for dried stuff like lentils, beans et al just visit a turkish supermarket here - the last time i counted they had 23 different types of white beans (not packagesizes) - unfortunately my turkish is way too poor (read as nonexistand) to find out what the difference is - the required eu-label sticker just say 'weiße bohnen, getrocknet' and something similar in english maybe it's 'dried white beans'

i really love turkish supermarkets

I have never seen a Turkish market here but in town they do have an Indian Market which I have been in once that does carry them also and lots of beans.

Never been to Turkish market. I don't think any around here.

Never been to Turkish market. I don't think any around here.

we have more then 100,000 turks in berlin so there are plenty of süpermarketler around. the ...ler indicates plural, because the see selling meat as a different shop than selling vegetables

Thought would bump this thread, since have another thread with recipe for this type soup just posted.

 

[nitrofd]

Thought to bump this thread as it uses curry and in a lot of cases rabbit which i will post shortly since we had a thread on curry of rabbit today.

Here is a recipe for the soup from 1861...from the book of household management.
