Hummus is made from chickpeas which are, like beans, a legume. Therefore, Hummus with Pita falls under the “Beans on Toast” family of foods. (So do PBJs by the way)
Whatever the case here, we can safely conclude that all of the aforementioned are, in fact, salads
I… I read it all. It’s beautiful.
I have, actually, read it 2 or 3 times by now. It has truly changed my life. For example, my GP now does not lecture me on my diet choices, because I can, honestly, tell them that I, mostly, eat different salads. I can feel my cholesterol dropping.
You put six commas in a single sentence. That’s a lot of commas.
Peanut is a legume but it’s most certainly not a kind of bean…
Beans are legumes.
It just depends on if all legumes are beans. I’d say no.

Who knew that the only possible way to get more mileage out of pita bread was to add the onion? :-P
The supermarket I shop at has shit pitta, but pretty decent hummus, so I’ve started buying garlic-coriander naans to have with it instead - I highly recommend it! They’re also usually much bigger, so problem solved lol
Garlic-coriander naan sounds so much more appetizing than shit pita.
lol, but also oh god, now I have the image in my head… 😩
i think my lab will need to replicate this.
I once sponsored a similar study, but my results were that when you finally added enough pita, you suddenly had a lack of hummus. I’ve attempted to offset the surfeit of pita with additional accoutrements, but testing is still ongoing.
Additional funding may be needed, especially when attempting to factor in the effect of additional diners participating in the appetizer event.
Can the data generated be applied to making nachos with the perfect ratio of toppings to chips?

Serve less hummus? Burn the witch!

There can never be enough pita bread. It’s scientifically impossible.
Yeah, I’m skeptical until the results are independently replicated.
I think the idea might be that you’re spose to use the pita as a vehicle for the hummus, not use the hummus as an excuse for the pita.
I think the idea is that you need to mind your business
lol, I’m not judging. It’s just a thought I had when I kept running out of pita and simultaneously gaining weight.
It’s blended beans, people treat it like caviar even though the bread is the expensive part. You should be loading your bread up to capacity
It’s not just beans. Good hummus should also have a solid amount of good olive oil, tahini, and fresh garlic and lemon. Pita is flour, yeast, and water which are like the cheapest ingredients.
I’m aware, I’m just saying that if you make $5 worth of hummus you are going to be spending about the same amount (if not more) on pita. Compared to, e.g. a baked brie, where you need $3 worth of dipping instruments to consume $10-15 worth of dip
As a former broke person, I have a habit of doing this with all dips. Dips, fancy cheese, creams, etc often felt like caviar
I am interested in this Burrito Accelerator experiment they speak of.
I have begun preliminary work on my own burrito acceleration, starting with a traditional low-speed methodology, utilising my body’s internal food-moving mechanisms.
The contents of burrito, when multiple units collide in the gut, appears to be well-distributed at the body’s egress, which is a promising result.
I hope you’re sealing your tortilla closed with cheese for these experiments.
if by “tortilla” you mean “colon”, then yes, I am sealing it with cheese
Haha! My favorite (the only) middle eastern food place near where I live used to give too much pita with everything. It was glorious.
Like just about everywhere, COVID hit them and now you get barely enough. Sigh.
I am skeptical. If there is more pita, you know you can take more hummus with each dip, so you will still run out of hummus first. I seems scientifically impossible. At least until we find the actual hummus to pita capacity, and I doubt they could have.
Cue pasty white guy with labcoat and clipboard mumbling something about “uncanny” and “eerie” while attempting to describe the results.
I didn’t see anywhere in the article how much is the right amount of pita bread. It’s a metric fuckton, right?
