Yes, and whole grain bread is also very trendy now, but it was definitely considered the food of the peasants, with the lovely soft white bread made from expensive processed flour the food of the aristocrats. You can read an interesting article about this here from the "food is life" conference: http://iufost.edpsciences.org/index.php?option=ar...

I am very much won over to the idea of lowering the GI of a recipe by adding lentils or other pulses. When we were little pulses were not on our radar, we used to be told they were 'peasant' food, and now they are quite hip: all the better if they are so good for us! Am loving your recipes and especially the explanations of why they work. It's great to have the complexities demystified! Now I want to move on to your garlic info!
