And garbanzo comes from?????? [/quote] There are differing theories to the origin, one is that is a pre-Roman native name because it is not related to Greek or Arabic, Dictionary.com offers this; 1750–60, Americanism ; < Spanish, alteration of Old Spanish arvanco; perhaps akin to Latin ervum . Anyways garbanzo is more fun to say that chick peas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancilla Domini Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 It's neither a chick nor a pea. Discuss. :) A peanut: It is neither a pea nor a nut. Therefore, both peanuts and chickpeas are both imposters and should be duly punished. The only reasonable punishment for their crime is that they both be blended up. I propose that we make the chickpea into hummus and the peanut into peanut-butter. I have spoken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
