Hummus in every shape and form lately is all the rage. There's roasted red pepper hummus, black bean hummus and I've even seen beet hummus. I should mention that I am not an overt fan of hummus myself. I do use it in a lot of recipes though, Mediterranean flat bread and Mediterranean stuffed shells. But I rarely partake in these creations and trust the mister's judgement.
I am not the most anal of people...only a few things will get my panties all bunched. I hate text talk. Kindles make me shudder and my idea of being on time means that if you're 5 minutes early, you're already late. (You should know that my husband does not share this trait. One of his nicknames is TYTT...take your time, Tony. I the opposite of love it about him.) But for the most part...I am beyond easy going. Unless, apparently when, it comes to hummus. The dish I don't even like.
A while back, I clicked on a recipe for "avocado hummus" I was immediately intrigued. Thinking my husband would probably love the combo of hummus and avocados and my mind was already working out a bunch of meal ideas.
As I clicked on it, this was the recipe.
2 avocados
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (chopped)
garlic
cilantro
Ummmm, what? I quickly re scanned to make sure that I had indeed looked up a recipe for avocado hummus and not, you know, guacamole?!!?!? Here is the thing, the Arabic word for hummus actually translates to mean chickpeas. Therefore, no chickpeas...no hummus.
This would be akin to me looking at Greek Yogurt and calling it milk hummus. Just because it is a thick dip. From now on, french onion dip is french onion hummus!
Hilarious!! OMG I truly am laughing out loud!
ReplyDeleteSo strange!! I love guacamole but it most certainly isn't hummus!

hahah! This is hilarious. I'm with you though what? Definitely not hummus. People really have taken to calling everything hummus- even if it not at all resembles real hummus.
ReplyDeleteMy husband is always late, I am always at least 15 minutes early.
ReplyDeleteWho the hell thinks hummus is the same as guacamole?
What the what?! Yeah can't have hummus without chickpeas and I don't even eat it that much.
