The cilantro. Spicy chickpeas. Warm pita. But that tzatziki sauce……
Eat me garbanzo bean heart out.
Name me one food that isn’t better in pizza form, and I’ll be a monkey’s uncle. Do monkey’s HAVE uncles? And if so, how did they get roped into this deal? I digress, pizza is good in every and all forms.
