 DS> Michael suggested that we use mung beans.

They're the best.
 
 DS> tried one of the lentils we had on hand.

I've never sprouted lentils but I just started a small batch

Any of the edible pulses should work.

 DS> alfalfa sprouts and got almost as sick as for food poisoning.

It may well have been food poisoning. The soaking water leaches out
soluble sugars from the seeds and becomes a growth medium for germs.
That's why sprouting recipes call for the seeds and sprouts to be
drained, rinsed and then given fresh water daily.

      Title: Marrow Balls
 Categories: Beef, Offal, Dumplings, Eggs
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      2 tb Marrow
      4 tb Cracker crumbs
      1    Egg
      1 ts Parsley, chopped fine
    3/4 ts Salt
    1/8 ts Pepper
    1/8 ts Nutmeg
 
  Work marrow until creamy.  Add other ingredients.  Let stand
  several hours if possible. Shape, and cook as Quenelles.
  
  The Quenelles Recipe says: Shape any forcemeat mixture in small
  balls or between two teaspoons onto a sheet of buttered paper.
  Shake from paper into boiling salted water or stock.  Cook ten
  minutes.  Serve as garnish to soup and other dishes, or drain and
  serve as an entree with a sauce.

  I have had these in Germany in soups, especially in Bavaria, and
  they are quite good although they are not seen as often on menus
  these days.
