Things you like that most other people don't like that you're not proud of

[KrazyHorse]

That's a good question. Apparently it's made from dried sesame seeds.

Honestly, the only thing I ever have tahini in is hummus

[Darius871]

I think it's the fact that other people do like hummus so much that should make one "not proud of" liking it (i.e. liking trendy bull**** = hipster d-bag), so I still don't get how the OP brought it to anyone's mind.

Do you eat it (hummus) unprepared? Like no cooking?

Who brought it up?

Hummus is already prepared. The chickpeas are cooked and mashed up. It's like a dip/spread. I eat it with a good bread.

[notyoueither]

I may try it. I have heard of it before, and seen it in my market. There is a lot in my market I have never tried.

Ben originally, but you wouldn't know that.

Well, knowing I'm about to open myself up to more abuse, I have no idea.
Apparently though, some people think it's cooler to cut down someone than to take satisfaction in knowing they turned someone on to something new.

God you're such a whiny little *****. You and Lancer. ****ing take the ribbing like a man instead of moaning about it.

What is tahini?

It is to the sesame seed what peanut butter is to peanuts, i.e., roasted, ground, sesame seeds. No falafel sandwich is complete without it. Hummus needs it also.

Twenty years ago, I was with my vegan girlfriend (she was a vegan because she had a parasite which made her sick whenever she ate animal protein) and we had gone across Chicago to go to a restaurant with great falafel sandwiches on homemade pita. As we're chomp in and are thoroughly enjoying ourselves, she sees a white liquid coming out of the sandwiches and freaks, thinking it was mayo, and that she was going to soon be in a lot of pain. The shop keepers told us it was tahini, so she calmed down.

Falafel come in sandwiches? I've only had it in wraps.

You need to cook the chickpeas. I think tahini is better from roasted sesames than raw, but you can use raw tahini if you like.

On behalf of myself and Lancer, screw off.

I think I would buy the hummus already made. I am not a big one for adventure in the kitchen.

Stick two or three in a cut open pita. Throw in some lettuce, tahini, olives, pickled beet (yum!), onions, and maybe a slice of tomato or two and you have a delicious sandwich.

I s'pose you could throw them on regular bread, too. I once had a gyro sub sandwich (doner kebab meat for you Euros).
