Hummus, any other addicts.

[MS1605]

So I have been using since I was a teen but really got addicted about a year ago. Anyone else addicted to this tasty Arabic treat? I have found myself putting it on everything. Hard boiled eggs, boiled chicken breast, carrots, and of coarse the tried and true ezekial pita bread. I just cant get enough of this shit...

Any one else addicted?

 

[Massive123]

It's something to say I'm proud to be addicted to. It makes everything taste better lol. I use it to replace mayo when I make tuna... It's amazing

 

[barnzy7]

Yup, i use it on everything. I cant get enough of it.

I used to eat it for the 10 years I was a vegan, but not a lot now.

 

[Massive123]

Btw correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's a Middle-Eastern thing, not necessarily Arabic. Just to clarify...

 

[barnzy7]

Yeah I think your right, my neighbor is lebanese and makes homemade hummus all the time..its bomb

 

[3J]

haha.. i guess im the original gangsta... im middle eastern.. been eating it all my life...

I actually was bored at work once and tried googling the origins of hummus. Numerous sites said that the origional origin can not be found because its so old. I also read that hummus is arabic for chickpeas. Seeing as 90% of hummus is chickpeas and hummus is arabic for chick peas I just assosiated it with being arabic. But who the fuck knows.

There are a few arabic grocery stores close to me. My cheat meals once a week have been a big ass dish of hummus, stuffed grapeleaves and falalfel. I could live on those 3 foods. either those 3 or all sushi. Is it weird that I dont like many foods from my own nationality but could live on the foods of others?

On a side note, my fiancee has hated me the last month. Extremely high protein diet plus extreme amounts of hummus plus lots of my guilty pleasure, Milk, = not having friends...

All this time I thought I was the only one who like hummus, babaganoosh, stuffed grape leaves and flafel...i thought wrong.

This is the key right here. I get tired of plain boiled chicken breast after about a month. Throw some hummus on it and you are G2G.
