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.

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.
