Shel.  According to David Lebovitz, only lentils marked Lentilles de Puy are the real thing and that they cost much more than the plain ole green lentils which I am accustomed to buying.

I found out that these choice lentils, which are grown in the volcanic soils of Puy in France, are now also grown in North America and Italy.  So it's possible to buy the lentils, but without  Le Terroir and L'AOP.  While they may be "second best," they are still quite good.
