I left a "health food" store feeling like an idiot today after pronouncing my distaste for hummus and the chick peas it's made from.
Guy behind the counter: |
"Chick peas?" |
Me: |
"Yeah." |
Guy: |
"Garbanzo beans." |
Me:
|
"Oh." PAUSE "Well, I don't like those either" |

Hummus is a dip made of chickpea paste and tahini (sesame seed paste), with flavorings such as olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and paprika. [Wikipedia]
In health food store guy's defense, I did find recipes for hummus made with garbanzo beans. But Google produced 279,000 results for hummus chick peas and only 111,000 for hummus garbanzo beans.
Take that, health dude. And lay off the chips and hummus 'cause your belly is almost preventing you from operating the cash register.
