vegetables during Lent.

Japan was the expected answer, but Marc was quite right in pointing out
that the Portuguese introduced it there in the 16th C so I'll accept that
as well.

I would say Lentils is too specific and inaccurate; there are many
dahls that do not use lentils but are made with other pulses such as
chickpeas etc.

Thank you Calvin. First time I've got 'em all. As a matter of interest
the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary gives Dal or Dhal as:-
Split pulses (esp. the seed of the pigeon pea, Cajanus cajan ), a
common foodstuff in the Indian subcontinent.
