Chickpeas , Garbonzos

A friend of mine has a really interesting name for them, it's sure to make you laugh but you'll have to ask me in person. Take a close look at them and see if you can figure it out.

My favorite way to eat them is by the hand full after they have been drained and rinsed. But there are so many ways to eat this wonderful bean.
