Sid’s a meat and potatoes man

So it seems we’ve added red lentils to the tally of silly allergies sported by our son.

It’s exactly the same scenario as with green peas and chickpeas: weeks and months of eating them just fine until, one day, a few suspicious red splodges around his mouth – nothing definitive, just little marks. The next time we try, the same thing. Then the next time – wham. Ten minutes later we have hives.

Increasingly it appears that our Sid is a meat, two veg and potatoes man. Which is a tad galling given I’m a vegetarian…
