I was at a party at my sister-in-law's house a few years ago, gobbling up hors d'oeuvres like a wolf at a lamb-shank cook-off. "Good stuff," I mumbled during bites. My wife pulled me aside. "You know those canapes are made with hummus, don't you?" I had to go rinse my mouth out with a beer. Hummus, you see, is so wrong on so many levels to a true Idahoan. It's an ancient dish of Middle Eastern origin, made with mashed garbanzo beans, tahini (sesame-seed paste), olive oil, lemon juice and garlic. Popular in the Western world just now, it's all the rage with vegetarians and vegans. As such, it's a clear and present danger to Idaho's cherished meat-and-potatoes culture/Steve Crump, Twin Falls Times-News. More here.

Question: Do you like hummus?
