what's a boy to do without his hummus?

i've developed an undeniable addiction to hummus. every day i go to the boulangerie by the stadium and buy a baguette. i eat half the baguette with hummus and half the baguette with nutella. [a blog on nutella shall appear sometime in the near future. love.]

last night i finish the last of my 200g container of Champion-brand hummus. i didn't have much time between classes so i made a quick run to the closest supermarché. to my surprise they didn't have hummus. [clearly, they hate vegetarians trying to stay fed in a meat-loving Paris, those from the Middle East, and, of course, me. i kid!] so i bought guacamole... which i will never do again. lol i like avacado, i like lime. but after dipping my piece of baguette into this avacado-based [supposed] delicacy and putting it into my mouth... i was not expecting this taste. total state of shock. i didn't know what to do. total state of panic. it wasn't just not good tasting, it was UGH. i could taste the garlic but it would not mask the taste of everything else that was giving me a headrush of ew-ew. i swallowed and thought "it simply needs to be mixed". WRONG.

meet a killer:

What is hummus you ask? Hummus is a [super delicious] chickpea (paste) and tahini (sesame seed paste) dip, with flavorings such as olive oil, garlic, paprika, and lemon juice.

Hummus is an Arabian (Middle Eastern) dish and not Greek. It is said that its origins trace back to the Sultan Saladin, a veteran of the Crusades, who enjoyed cooking as a pastime. His experiments with hummus purportedly resulted in the creation of the Sultan's Forty Spice variety, which spawned many imitations and has been a Middle Eastern favorite for centuries.

Hummus is a nutritious food, containing a large amount of protein, dietary fiber, iron, and (depending on the recipe) varying amounts of mono-unsaturated fat. It's is great for vegetarians and vegans.

adore the thing i put into my mouth every night:
