recipe using lentils or garbanzos — but no meat, of course.
Vegetarian cutlets, and all similar commercially-produced meat
substitute preparations, should be used very, very sparingly, or not at
all.All kinds of berries are an excellent addition for both lunch and
dinner.

that simplification can. Different types of food have different
