Hmmm. Deep message there. There is a saying in Hindi which translates to, “a homegrown chicken will taste like lentils”, or, low in taste and nutrition.
I spoze the American counterpart is “all elected officials are lentils”. However, I do like lentils – Grandmother’s Sicilian style: Thin soupy gravy, lentils, a few sliced carrot pieces, spinach and elbow macaroni.

She’d have rejected me too. I think the matching coral earrings and pendant are marvelous. The poor fellow shelled out a lot of $ for the pearls.
