It’s garbanzos if they’re selling it in the aisle with all the stuff from Goya, and it’s chickpeas if they’re selling it in the aisle with the gumbo file. If it’s in the aisle with the curries, it’s chana dal. And chana dal is already split. Pro tip: Chana dal cook up a lot faster than the other two.
@j2 Same-same. Ceci (Italian) = chickpea (English) = garbanzo (Spanish) = pois chiches (French) = naut (Romanian) = kikherneitä (Finnish = Kichererbsen (German) = ρεβύθια (greek, pronounced “revýthia”), and that’s just a few of the many names for them.
@chienfou Sophomoric misogynist bathroom humor stopped being funny to me sometime around the fourth grade. YMMV. It appears I’m not the only one ignoring it. Including the first of those comments.
@werehatrack
YOU still missed the point. Notice that the OP and the SECOND (“joke”) comment are the same person…
It seems pretty obvious the post was designed to elicit the first reply, thereby giving the poster the set up for his joke.
YW
@chienfou “Gotcha” setups like that are another entire category of “humor” that I simply ignore. Like the other, they stopped being funny many decades past. They aren’t clever, and the “False” assertion at the lead-in of the “joke” is, itself, false to fact.
I didn’t “miss the point”, I pointedly ignored it.

My mistake. I assumed you hadn’t noticed the link. Of course, each time you address this post, it gets kicked back up to the top of the list, increasing it’s likelihood of being read…
No problem. In truth, the isolation of the elderly that came with all the CoViD stuff was probably almost as bad as the disease… I am a ‘quality of life’ kind of guy. When you graph your life and the quality line crosses the quantity line it’s time to check out. All the folks stuck in the nursing homes etc for 18 months with virtually no family contact really suffered for it.
Nothing
False. {insert politician name here} would never pay $500 to have a garbanzo bean in his mouth.

Ceci beans taste the best!

I was going to say my Grandfather got me started eating them, but then realized it was Lupini Beans, not Ceci beans,
Mmmmmm, Lupini beans …
Same bean; different naming histories.
Check that out here with this spoonuniversity link.
@Jackinga Better link here.

I guess hos in trunks aren’t exactly bathroom humor but I’d say those “jokes” are a lot nastier…

@Kyeh Those ought to have worn our their welcome sooner, I will admit.

@chienfou Thanks - I’m going over tomorrow morning; that’ll be the 5th day and they say they feel fine, so I think it’s okay.
