I was over my neighbors' yesterday and we were eating hummus. this term could be confusing because hummus refers to either, the plant that hummus grows on, the actual fruit (bean?) that grows on it (chick peas), the hummus still in pods and still green (also edible and delicious), and the dip that you make out of oil and crushed hummus and spices. we were eating hummus akhthar (green hummus) that had been salted and put in the fire. it tastes, and has a consistency like, roasted corn. i mentioned that i want to start buying it. the little five year old kindly explained to me how one obtains hummus:
"give a laira...
no wait...
get a son
give the boy a laira
he will come back with hummus
put it in the oven
nothing else
that is the best way"
