Chickpeas are very normal peas here, but I bought some lately since I have never tasted them before. I am curious to its taste. Then I look for a recipe about chickpeas. I found something funny. Here actually we call chickpeas as "eaglepeas" This is a very funny difference

This is a funny name, we call them ceci in Italian, that means nothing at all. In French is the same as in Enlgish chick peas (pois chiches)

In fact it is a kind of a little big pea, I wonder why it will be called "nothing at all" in Italy

@marlina I use the Italian ceci because it is the shortest.

chickpeas are our favourite and my children love them so much. They are packed with protein and good for health. I like the new name 'eaglepeas'

@Sreekala I think here our main beans are soy beans.

That certainly is a different name for them. I only know them as chickpeas although we never have them.

Here we think these peas look like eagles' mouths and therefore we call them as eaglepeas
