A piece of advice.
Never. And I mean never, try making soup using a 50/50 ratio of red lentils and pearl barley.
I've made lentil soup for years, I learned it from my Mum and she learned it from her mother before her.
But like a fool I had to experiment, thinking I was clever, thinking I knew better and could improve on generations of culinary tradition.
Well it near literally backfired on me. I lay awake half the night last night with my guts feeling like a hot air balloon and periodically expelling bursts of the most noxious farts I've ever produced in my life. Even after a brief spell of feverish sleep the first thing that greeted me upon waking was the urge for more farting. This continued all day, I had to go into town this afternoon and periodically had to find somewhere secluded to relieve the pressure hoping there was nobody downwind close enough to realise I was the cause of the stench. It's been hell.
I had half a pan of the stuff left and thought about reducing it down, drying it out, and giving it to the birds but I feared they might explode so I threw it in the bin.
