Not sure this batty lefty really knows much about being a cook. There are many, MANY more flavors as staples in my itty bitty kitchen and most of them aren’t assigned to a specific ethnic food. I just throw in what sounds good today.
And really, the lefties gotta throw the mahommadans into everything. Hummus is rebranded bean dip. My bean dip usually comes from whatever leftover beans are in the fridge. Even if its a pea.
Fuzzy headed lib.
Just a little old chick pea. Been putting those on my salads for eons. Yes, I am that old!
