This is my cue to invent you a recipe :)  I'm thinking some kind of fake
vegetarian sausages.  Suggestions welcome.

Natalie's gluten-free, so my first idea - cooked mashed
borlotti/crabeye/pinto beans (any one of the preceding) mixed with
semolina, onion, garlic, tomato, and a fried seasoning paste made of
ground and whole roasted cumin - is going to need a bit of tweaking.
Perhaps replacing the semolina with mashed potatoes would do the trick.

Nat, do you know how much cumin is needed to have a beneficial effect?
Is it of the order of teaspoons, tablespoons, or only huge doses via
extracts of some kind?

There's stuff above here
