This is kind of a staple for vegetarians/vegans. I've been making it for years on and off and I'm taking it for lunch this work weekend. I don't have any veggie mayo so I'm using that Goddess salad dressing I got at Trader Joe's. I also got the chickpeas at TJ's and I think they are 99 cents a can.
I like chickpeas, but I'd prefer a real tuna sandwich.
Oh yes, I've heard of that. I haven't tried it but I should. Won't use my oven anymore this year.
It's a sad reality when food prices increase the rich compete for the inexpensive staple foods of the poor and the poor usually lose.
Speaking of the rich, reminds me of a story my sister told me. She went to one of the major supermarkets and saw a blonde woman wearing a fur coat who had lobster among her groceries. She paid with food stamps and left in a very fancy ride.It's a sad reality when food prices increase the rich compete for the inexpensive staple foods of the poor and the poor usually lose.
Along the same line............I volunteer at Christmas time at a Salvation Army kids gift program. The building is a large warehouse in a industrial area in east end Toronto. My job is supervising the parking lot. The kids mothers are selected from the public housing authority lists, so you know they are not wealthy. You should see the cars and SUV's that they are driving. BMW, Cadillac, Mercedes Benz, and so on. How can they afford such expensive vehicles ? The live in boy friend is a criminal.

It's usually refered to that way by the people who don't eat tuna. This is what most of the recipes state it as.
LOL, Aunt Bea, guess what I'm having for supper? The very same! Plus, a piece of leftover chicken.
I've never made it from scratch.
My sister was shopping in a ritzy area populated mostly by well to do Caucasians that day, so the woman could have been from that area. My sister used to be on several boards and committees, including the County Freeholders and mentioned Caucasians who shouldn't have been able to, were able to somehow get food stamps because different criteria was used for them. A friend of mine worked for county welfare and had told me something similar about how it was easier for some folks to get public assistance than others.
I spent ten years working for Metro Toronto Ambulance service , a city department. In my experience, even the WORST run down crappy apartment will have the latest largest BIG screen TV in it. There may be no food for the kids, but Mum will haver $300 worth of bangles and ear rings on her. JimB.
No, never thought of any recipe like that, thank you for sharing. I do like chickpeas (don't eat them often except occasionally as humus). I don't eat much bread anymore, but maybe I'll get a loaf and the ingrediants and try it.
