So what I have could really be considered Hummus? Is it one of those
generic terms that there are hundreds of versions of? (that makes no
sense, but I guess you got the question) Your version sounds pretty
good BTW. I became addicted to "Taste of Thai" brand garlic and red
chili sauce, and put it in everything. It's just mildly hot and kind
of sweet. I guess the real paste stuff is pretty hot.
