What are your favorite type of lentils, what do you use them in, why are they preferred for that dish than others?

I recently realized I have only had maybe 1 or two types, and upon searching them found they all supposedly taste different and have different textures.

Wherher it is for cheap decent soup or an old family recipe; slap me with some information

    I’d use any lentils to thicken pasta sauce and add ez protein, same for soup. you could also mix in flour to form them into veggie patties. red lentils can be blended and mixed with starch to make a vegan cheese
