I have to say.... it surprises me that people hate chick peas. I don't
think of them as having any sort of offensive taste or texture.... to
me. I guess that rules out hummus are falafel for you.

If I am at a salad bar I will often take a pass on the lettuce and other
rabbit food but load up with chick peas, cucumber,tomatoes and blue
cheese dressing. I started liking hummus a lot more when I started
making my own. I recently discovered another middle eastern restaurant
almost as good as the one I used to like but which closed down. I always
liked their stuff done in pita wraps, but I tried the hummus pita wraps
and they were incredible.
