your mission completed: sweet and savoury
Last week, our mission partner Canadian Lentils asked you to share your sweet and savoury #fundelentil foods. Gastroposters proved just how versatile lentils are for making delicious dishes using either seasoning.
Gastroposters took this week’s mission with a grain of salt and sugar, savouring the opportunity to combine seasonings and spice to come up with something extra nice to tantalize our taste buds. On these pages, Twitter handles are in blue and Instagram handles are in brown.
