My mom made it once and it was inedible. I don't know if she put too much
tahini in it or if it was just bad tasting tahini. But I do think it was
the tahni. It just tasted heavy and wrong. And it is rare for me to have a
hummus I do not like. I have tried some store bought kind that was Greek
Style. I am not really sure what that means. But in looking at the
description, I thought I would like it. But I didn't like it so much.
Wasn't inedible but wasn't a favorite. I do prefer some more than others.
There is some that is locally made here. It is very light and creamy. I
like it the best. But it only keeps for a few days.
