The different between chickpeas and garbonzo beans...

[ShiroKuro]

... is that they taste better when you call them garbonzo beans...
Or so I explained it to Mr. SK.

Also, who knew they are supposed to be spelled garbanzo? Not me, anyway!!

You can call them anything; just call me for dinner.

Rapeseed = Canola

Tangerines = Cuties

Schmaltz = Chicken fat

Fois gras = You don’t want to know.

I was a bit worried. There’s a fairly off colored joke that starts with this question…

Crispy roasted chickpeas yes. Crispy roasted garbanzo beans sounds wrong.

@RealPlayer my grandfather used to always say "you can call me whatever you like, just don't call me later for dinner"

It's funny you should say that, because I actually prefer the name with garbanzo... I don't think I knew that chickpeas and garbanzos were the same until relatively late, actually, and I think we always ate "garbanzo beans" and never "chickpeas". My mom always says garbanzo

... actually, I'm pretty sure she's saying "garbonzo"

I thought garbanzos were a type of chickpea and that there are other types of chickpea.

I always thought they were the same.

But I can't be trusted when it comes to culinary matters.

What, no one calls them cece?

(I grew up in an Italian neighborhood...)

Also Chana dal…I think.
