Response to chick peas

No, chick peas are garbanzo beans. They are larger than blackeye peas and taste different too.

chick peas are good in the summer as a salad, add olive oil and vinegar and some raw cut up veggies like onion, olives, green peppers and some pepper. they are used to make hummus as well, ground up with tahini (sesame) butter and lemon juice. eat with corn chips. yum

The alternate name for Blk eyed peas is cow pea. If everything was called what it's called we wouldn't get so confused!! LOL
