Re: Lebanon/Israel Hummus Rivalry
I am disappointed that the Hibernian tradition of chickpea dips was given less than short shrift, and a great and varied tradition it is: you have the solidly time-honored Hummus of Bandon, the Hummus of Ballyloughlin, the Hummus of Carrigaholt - to name but a few - and the mack-daddy of them all, the Hummus of Whiskey.

Re: Lebanon/Israel Hummus Rivalry
Sure you're not thinking of humus? No one can touch the Irish for humus, each town with its own earthy variety. I must say, the humus of whiskey has always puzzled me, though.Nanohedron wrote:I am disappointed that the Hibernian tradition of chickpea dips was given less than short shrift, and a great and varied tradition it is: you have the solidly time-honored Hummus of Bandon, the Hummus of Ballyloughlin, the Hummus of Carrigaholt - to name but a few - and the mack-daddy of them all, the Hummus of Whiskey.

Yes, yes. Let's not allow this thread to bog down.

Re: Lebanon/Israel Hummus Rivalry
I am afraid this thread has decomposed beyond any hope. I see no revival on the horizon. I will not soil this place with any further comment.
