for me some things i only want to eat once in a while,
but hummus happens to be flexible enough for me that i
could eat it every day if i felt like buying the chick
peas and making it.

that all said i'm quite happy to have it for a few
days a month too. i have a lot of other beans i like to
eat so it works out ok.

avocadoes i can eat one or two a month. don't want
any the rest of the time. about the same for any form
of liver.

i don't normally eat plain navy beans or great northern beans
or cook them here as i grew up eating them almost exclusively
(they are grown in this region). i liked them ok, but since i've
found so many other beans, textures and flavors are different so
i've enjoyed growing and cooking them instead.

to me what you describe is what i would call a bean dip,
which i suppose hummus can be fitted into that but i use it
so many ways that i don't think of it as a dip as much as
i would a black bean dip or refried beans kinds of dishes.

i used to make a lot of various bean mashes and dips for
putting on pizza crusts. making a thick corn bread like
pizza crust and then putting a bean dip on it and covering
that with cheese was a good meal for me quite a few times
a year when i could eat that much at one time. now i can't.

I wouldn't call that hummus.

I've got a bag of dried chickpeas in the pantry. But hey, you don't
need dried chickpeas to make hummus. Just buy them in the can and go
from there. If you don't like chickpeas why do you like hummus?

If you don't use chickpeas/garbanzos, it really isn't hummus.

I wouldn't either, Julie. It's just some sort of bean paste.

Hunnus comes from the Arabic word for chickpeas. Making some sort of
bean dip from other types of beans and calling it hummus is like cooking
a pork tenderloin and calling it filet mignon.

I never said I don't like them. I eat them on salad. Something you don't
like. I have canned ones.

Thats ok, to me the Tahini, fresh garlic and olive oil make it Hummus.
I guess that is because they sell versions of it here that use other
than chickpeas.

Without chickpeas it's not hummus. Hummus actually means... drum
roll... wait for it... chickpeas!

Yet, it is called hummus because that it the Arabic word for chick peas.
