In Pinterest this morning, Scott Hilburn’s Argyle Sweater comic strip of 9/25/20:
(#1) This from the creator of the Puns of Steel collections
#1 is a still from a sad tale of chickpeas smashed to death in a cheap Baltimore apartment, an episode of the tv drama Hummuscide: Life on the Street; meanwhile, death strikes down a rich legume in the novel The Great Garbanzo, in which the title character is murdered by a distraught husband. The grand fictions of Cicer arietinum.
chickpeas, garbanzos, hummus. See my 10/13/18 posting “Chic peas and more”, with a section on chickpeas / chick peas (also called garbanzos):
(#2) Lebanese chickpea stew (from my 2016 posting)
Chickpeas/ garbanzos are the basis of the dipspread hummus. On the dipspread, from Wikipedia:
Hummus is a Middle Eastern dip, spread, or savory dish made from cooked, mashed chickpeas blended with tahini, lemon juice, and garlic. The standard garnish in the Middle East includes olive oil, a few whole chickpeas, parsley, and paprika.
