I haven't seen a lentil recently, but meseems the intersection of two
spheres ought to be pretty good -- about like this, for equatorial
radius 1 and axial radius D, if I'm not too sleepy for analytic
geometry:

#declare D = 1/2;		// 0 < D <= 1
#declare R = sqrt(1+D*D)/D;
intersection {
	sphere { <0,DD,0>, R }
	sphere { <0,-DD,0>, R }
	}

(I'd try it, but I haven't got povray installed in my new penguin pen!)
