The Canadian Black Beans look like beans not lentils. As far as I know lentils are round and these are bean shape. I'll give the chili dilemma some thought...can probably do without the beans.
By the way thanks for the google tip on doing an 'image' search. If you knew the amount of hours I've wasted trying to find pictures of different stuff to find that that was all I had to do!! My d/h is thrilled as well.
