How bad are Chickpeas? So bad they keep changing the name, in order to trick people into eating them again, I'm sure:

 

Chickpea

Garbanzo Bean

Ceci Bean

Indian Pea

 

There may be more, who knows?

 

I had a boss that hated these vile buggers so much, the office gave him a can of them as a gag gift. He was pissed for days, as he didn't even want to look at the can...that's how much he hates them.

 

With that said, I don't like Lentils, either.

 

And Trent isn't a vegetable. He's a glove-wearing Mary.

 

I say chick peas... You do need them to make hummus.

Hummus. Sounds like something I spit up when I'm phlegmy, Tastes worse.

I think it actually means "chick peas"... So, there is another name!

 

Actually, it isn't really that bad... I just don't like when they mix too much olives in it... I am not an olive person.

Hummus doesn't have olives in it. Olive oil but no olives.

Either way... I do not like things too heavy on the olives or oil... Certain kinds that I tried are subtle enough that I don't mind.

All legumes rock. They can make N out of pure air! I prefer Ladino clover. A good stand of legume in a yard can produce +50# N to act as fertilizer.

Fava Beans!
