I used to love sweets. Now I hardly like the taste. I just eat them when I have a need for sugar and fat.
Meat, eggs, potato, fried rice, refried beans, a good salad. I prefer all of those to sweets now.

I think we may have our answer:

CLOVER, Va.—Prodded by the largest U.S. hummus maker, farmers in the heart of tobacco country are trying to grow chickpeas, an improbable move that reflects booming demand for hummus.
Quote:Quote:
"We need to establish the supply chain to meet our growing demand," says Sabra's chief technology officer, Tulin Tuzel. "We want to reduce the risk of bad weather or concentration in one region. If possible, we also want to expand the growing seasons."
Long a staple of Middle Eastern cuisine, hummus is earning a growing following among Americans seeking more-healthful snacks. The chickpea dip is low in fat and high in protein. Sales of "refrigerated flavored spreads"—a segment dominated by hummus—totaled $530 million at U.S. food retailers last year, up 11% from a year earlier and a 25% jump over 2010, according to market-research firm Information Resources Inc.
I honestly love the shit. There's a Middle Eastern market that I frequent that makes great hummus that is loaded with cumin. I have noticed that grocery stores here in California have gone from one or two types of hummus to four foot display areas in the refrigerated sections in just the last couple of years.

Finally some good news. But you gotta have it like we do, hummus 'ful', with some hot paprika, tehini, and plenty of olive oil.
Or use it to put out fires or brush your teeth.

I have never seen a queue for a regular shop with regular goods here in Europe. Can't this people make better and cheaper cupcakes at home? The ingredients are cheap as hell. water, sugar,flour, eggs, milk?. some shitty topping.
The picture shows consumerism at its best.

Extra tehini, or just what you had put into the hummus(as a dip, not the plain chickpeas)?
I load the top of my hummus with Spanish smoked pimento(better paprika imo), olive oil, and usually pine nuts.
I also love making hummus fatteh with Lebna too.
Yeah man, Labane (goat cheese) is the truth.
Haven't tried it with pimento, just use lots of tehini (dip). Good call on the pine nuts too. Throw a boiled egg in and you're all set.
My hummus looks something like this:

DC is currently being infested with an endless amount of beer and burger places. Which is normally not a problem, because I love both of these things. It doesn't affect me because I'm not a fucking pig and I work out.
But these 'average' white girls? Gonna get even fatter.
