Hummus is awful.

[KLS52]

I love hummus in my lettuce wraps...with olive tapenade, a slice of onion and avocado...

That smiley is actually disgusting, but then I hate drool...

I've only had hummus once. It was flavored, and so disgusting I was scared to ever try it again.

For me it's like drinking too much. After I had eaten hummus I thought "I'm never ingesting this crap again, it isn't fair to my body". Then everyone would say how awesome it was and how I just hadn't tried GOOD hummus, so I'd try it again, and hate it again.

So really, not going to try it again.

I think it's the tahini taste that I don't like about houmous because I seem to prefer the flavoured ones where they mask that taste.

Its better than avacado...houmous saved my lunchtime sandwich from cheese... Thankyou Houmous!

If you make your own, try using peanut butter instead of tahini... gives it a real nice flavor. I started doing that because tahini is too expensive.

Heresy.

FWIW this is the tahini I use in my hummus, from Lebanon.

It's pretty basic the way I make it. Approx 3 cups cooked chickpeas (sometimes more), 3 TBS minced garlic, 1/2 cup tahini, 1/3 cup lemon juice and 1/2 tsp salt. If I want it spicy I add rooster sauce.

^ Hmm, peanut butter, I would never have thought to do that.

I know Beanstew said he has tahini just as a sandwich filling. Tahini tastes so strange to me. I don't know if there is tahini in falafel because I sometimes don't like that too?

Ohhh, is that what it is. I've never understood why some are just disgusting.

Piri piri humous

I like the plain, or "classic" hummus the best. There are definitely some brands that I thought "Holy hell, what IS this crap?" but I think I may have settled on the plain Sabra one. I just need to start making my own, though.

We make a green hummus at my restaurant that is out of this world! It's made with arugula and spinach (mostly arugula). I would eat it three times a day, every day if I could.

“But hummus. When did that happen?…there’s a restaurant down the road that that’s all they do. That isn’t a proper meal, that’s a side-order innit? That’s like having a restaurant just floggin’ tomato ketchup. Hummus isn’t a meal. They don’t even try and kid ya to get you in to flog you just hummus, they actually say “Oh it’s hummus today.” Not gonna work, they shut down within a month.”

Bad hummus is bad. I don't like store bought hummus or Pita Pit hummus. Good hummus is amazing though.

 

[beancounter]

I'm sorry, but it just has to be said...

Anyone who doesn't like hummus is a bigoted Middle Eastern hater.

Okay, I looked up a vegan falafel recipe and it's the parsley taste that I don't like.

 

[KLS52]

I just saw edamame hummus at Trader Joe's...I almost bought it, but decided against it. Maybe next time.

Yeah I'm not a fan of tahini. I always get the flavored hummus as well. Pizza flavor is my favorite.

I have to specify at restaurants that I don't want tahini drizzled on my falafel pita sandwiches. Most here seem to automatically add it.

Same here!!

Parsley is nasty. I detest tabbouli for that reason. I don't really notice the parsley taste in falafel, but I also have hot sauce/hummus on my falafel sandwiches or salads.

This thread is depressing me.
