LOWE REJECTS COMPROMISE WITH HUMMUS

[AllenLowe]

Allen Lowe today, at a press conference, noted that from now on, when it comes to Hummus, he will eat only the real thing.

"It must be all natural with plenty of chick peas. I will accept no substitute," he said.

You should try my wife's حمّص (hummus). Chickpeas, yes. But reduced amounts of tahini and oil. A low-fat version.

Or maybe not.

Purists would surely be offended.

I'm solidly with Allen. It must always and continuously be with chick peas.

My sister-in-law is Lebanese, and she works at a restaurant that makes amazing hummus and all the traditional dishes. Love the stuff. Chicken shawarma, lamb kebab, garlic paste, fatoush salad, warm pita...yum.

I was in Beirut for a couple of days last month. Loved the food!
