TAKING SIDES: HUMMUS VS. GUACAMOLE

Ay you know what I don't even understand is that pumpkins are not even spicy

Cedar's is a local brand guys, please show some respect

is it possible to buy fresh chickpeas in the US? and is hummus appreciably better when it's made from fresh beans as opposed to canned/dried?

“It’s totally gone now — their guacamole, hummus, everything is gone,” Wesleyan Sophomore, Yael Horowitz told The Electronic Intifada. “It happened really quickly once the dining service committee decided.”

Woah. My cafeteria just started carrying Sabra.

I've seen fresh chickpeas at the Dekalb and Buford Hwy Farmers Mkts in Atlanta, but never anywhere else.

I hope the Wesleyan students find an alternative source for hummus and guacamole!

I think even the best hummus you'll find anywhere is made from dried chickpeas that've been soaked and cooked, not fresh-from-the-vine ones

If you gotta go with storebought instead of homemade hummus, it turns out that Boar's Head is really good.

Sounds like a welcome addition to the hummus racket!

i am pro-wacky humus flavors; recently i had some rosemary sea salt hummus that was insane.

yeah, I am generally in favor, but the Thai coconut curry flavor from Roots is also good but impossible to eat more than a small amount. So it takes the right amount of wacky. I also love black bean "hummus".
