i have an israeli friend who wisely distinguishes real houmous from hippie houmous. this post gets at the difference between smooth, delicious houmous and chunky, dry hippie houmous: http://desertcandy.blogspot.com/2007/07/hummus-dilettante.html

I mean they tasted really good (and, oddly, they cooked to a purple colour. Not unlike the purple beans we grew, which cook to... ordinary green. Go figure.)
I am so confused by all these colour changing beans.
