Holy Hummus

They say second is the best (third, the one with the treasure) and this penultimate review may very well be close to that. I may not be a Rabbi, perhaps the furthest from it, but damn do I feel connected to G-d when I eat this sumptuous hummus. If you close your eyes you might be brought back to your Yeshiva days and hear the bachur next to you moaning "Hadran Alach" in your ear as he makes a Siyum. Or, for the non-circumcised among us, you may find yourself uncontrollably screaming Jesus Christ because he may be resurrected just for the sake of this ultra smooth Hummus. The aroma seduces you in with a subtle earthy flavor. Your spirit is then uplifted by the marbley-white looks of this hummus. If you squint you can almost see little mini glacier-like nuggets of chickpea goodness (Yes Please!). The texture is reminiscent of rolled ice cream. Think when it's first rolled on the ice block, it spreads quite beautifully but has a bit of texture that invites the guest to take a more hands on approach. While you're not buying the hummus for texture, you're surely not complaining. Let's not waste another second before talking about Le grand moment, and that ladies and gentlemen is the taste. Picture the sound of 10 rabbis praying, while getting a back massage from angels and translate that into your mouth. For those not following, this is serious stuff, that has no business being found in the store. It's nutty, with a a light mouth feel and the right amount of spices (think earthy cumin). You can eat 3 cartons of this sucker before momma throws a fit and realizes there is no more dips left for company. The hummus has an ever so light, lemony touch that tickles your tongue as you nibble in but the faintness has you scratching your head and wondering if there truly is any lemon in here. Yes, that ever-sought after sweet spot. TLDR: low acidity. Run don't walk to get yourself some holy hummus. If there is even a single tub of this leftover on the shelf you are doing something wrong. Happy scooping Chevra. **Please note: Store-bought hummus ratings are scored on a separate scale to their restaurant counterparts.
