So, after I cleaned my
grubby spice rack the next spot to tackle was the store cupboard.
While there were no unpleasant surprises in the larder there were
some elderly dried goods such as an unopened 2kg bag of chickpeas
older than Martha. The cupboard was crammed with chickpeas both
dried and tinned and obviously we never eat them except for that time
Bert took a great notion of making hummus. The 2kg bag will be used
as animal feed and I'll have to hoke out that hummus recipe for Bert.
The oldest item in the
cupboard was the organic brown rice. If that packet of unopened brown
rice were a child it would be at secondary school by now. What kind
of idiot lets packets of food sit on her shelves for endless years?
What type of deluded fool keeps buying chickpeas and then has them
languish in her cupboard for over a decade? If it were another person
with a store of ancient food in their pantries I'd call that person a food
hoarder.
If anyone has any
delicious recipes where chickpeas are one of the main ingredient
please let me know.

falafel is good and also check indian recipes. On Saturday night I made Delias Moroccan Baked Chicken and that called for chickpeas (dried, but I used tinned). xx London Sister
When I make Pea and ham soup, I add a large can of rinsed chickpeas. It adds extra body.
Good suggestions. Thanks chickpeople!
