  11. I did not know garbanzo and chickpeas are the same thing! Thanks for that info. I do love hummus, but since chickpeas give me tummy ache for some reason, I make it with red lentils and garlic and a bit of mayo :) I do think that the cuisine of the Levant countries is my fave, I love garlic, legumes, nuts... and they don't use much meat and dairy, which is lovely for me.
