21. No, chickpeas don't count

Mon Nov 12, 2012, 03:44 PM

Nov 2012

As food under any circumstances. I've always hated chickpeas/garbanzo beans. We'd often get served them at the Cuban restaurants Mom & Dad liked to go to in Ybor City and to me they always tasted nasty. Mom would give us chickpeas as a side dish or as a garnish on salads or even chickpea soup. It never helped!

Then hummus became popular. I was looking for something to eat with my homemade bread and bought some hummus to try. It tasted nasty to me. Imagine my unhappy surprise when I realized that hummus is just whirled chickpeas! What a cruel hoax.
