We're trying to get garbanzo beans in the local stores ~ either dried or canned. Although they're about the best buy per pound among legumes, many Americans don't use them, don't know about them, and can't imagine what they are! You can use a bit of curry with butter and you have a major dish.
Garbanzo beans are readily available here you might try looking for chick peas which is another name for the same thing. If all else fails you can order them from Walmart.com shipped for free to a store near you. Until the price of them went up we used them as ammo for the cub scouts wrist rockets now we use cheap dog chow.
