The lentils would likely be cheap if you bought it by by the sack but you’d like want onions, carrots, peas and the like to go with it. It does make me want daal now though.
That said, I was talking about the first step being to add more veg to existing dishes, which would need more money. What I had in hospital would probably have counted as a low fibre diet, with the obvious knock-on effects for my innards (although I was also on IV antibiotics which did my gut biome no favours too).
Oh definitely. I was just thinking they could scoop up all the unwanted wonky veg that’s left to rot and make some really nice veggie stews or currys or stir fries. Better than mystery meat, blop of mash, gravy with no onions in it and peas if you are lucky with tinned fruit and the lightest ice cream I have ever experienced.
I get the same from Aldi - my last batch of carrots was terrible but usually they’re alright, just takes a bit more processing (the peppers are usually perfectly fine if often a little small).

It could be done cheaply if they sourced properly, but they’ll use some over priced meal provider that is owned by a mate of someone in charge.

To give tesco their due, they now sell that wonky veg and I usually buy it since it all looks the same once cooked.
