LENTIL

Like almost all vegetables, Lentils are traditionally regarded as funereal plants: formerly they were forbidden at all sacrifices and feasts.

St. Hilarion, when he arrived at man’s estate, subsisted for three years upon Lentils steeped in cold water.

To dream of Lentils is supposed to indicate sorrow and anxiety.
