Ooh they do sound yummy thanks, will also try them as DD loves chickpeas in soups, stews, etc oh and hummus is her favourite. Thanks so much for the reassurance ladies, glad to know it is nothing to be concerned about and your tips are great.
DD does love spag bol and curries, chili, etc. I always make my own from scratch so I know there is lots of goodness in them and she will eat meat that is minced/ground like that no probs. It is just if it is larger chunks she spits them out. So will keep offering and see how things progress. Thanks again for all the tips.
