For those who don't read the DM or not seen the news, this is article is among the headlines.
I never eat the stuff but many of you may have some in your fridge.

I make my own - similar recipe to Lisagran, it keeps for a week but we’ve usually eaten it within a couple of days. I’ve also frozen it and it’s been fine.

Not all grannies know how to suck eggs. Just saying

BlueBelle Thu 31-Oct-19 06:24:53

Love hummus and it’s far from rubbish
I wonder why this has only been in the a daily fail I haven’t heard anything in news or tv

You can freeze your homemade hummus. It’s very nutritious and certainly not rubbish. I make a butternut squash and chickpea soup which is delicious and tastes a bit spicy.

annep1 Thu 31-Oct-19 04:40:19

Thanks, I'll give it a go Lisagran but all efforts at making my own have so far ended up as a tasteless or horrible tasting mushy mess with a worktop covered in said mess. If at first.......

DH doesn't like it so it would be just me eating it!

Lisagran Wed 30-Oct-19 17:03:19

I haven’t kept it more than 2 days, Callistemon - usually gets used up the same day/ doesn’t make a huge amount. Yummy with toasted pita breads smile

Callistemon Wed 30-Oct-19 15:32:00

Shop!!

Callistemon Wed 30-Oct-19 15:31:33

Thanks Lisagran
How long would that keep in the fridge?
I notice that sjop-bought houmous always has a short use-by date.

Lisagran Wed 30-Oct-19 14:08:05

Easy houmous recipe - smile -

1x 400g tin of chickpeas, drained
50g tahini paste
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
Juice of 1/2 lemon
60 ml water

Place all ingredients in a food mixer and blend until smooth.

Just finished eating my Humous wrap whilst reading this. Fortunately from Tesco which is not on the list!

EllanVannin Wed 30-Oct-19 11:50:41

Reminds me of Humus ( earth ) eating soil and its components

whywhywhy Wed 30-Oct-19 11:48:36

I hate the stuff!

EllanVannin Wed 30-Oct-19 11:47:43

Yes it was me who said it was rubbish----the name's enough !!

annep1 Wed 30-Oct-19 11:40:55

Houmous is certainly not a rubbish food Its full of good ingredients and very tasty.

Callistemon Wed 30-Oct-19 09:57:17

To be fair, it was EllanVannin who called houmous rubbish, unlike home-made pea and ham soup (which sounds delicious).

annep1 Wed 30-Oct-19 09:56:40

Thank you GabriellaG54. I eat a lot of this from Lidl and Sainsbury. I'll stick to the delicatessen one in future.

MawB Wed 30-Oct-19 09:47:43

Houmous is certainly not rubbish Callistemon unlike the DM
*GG( doesn't eat foreign food though, remember?

MawB Wed 30-Oct-19 09:45:51

I'm sure it is kindly meant GG but I feel as if grannies are being taught to suck eggs.

Callistemon Wed 30-Oct-19 09:45:07

I've never thought of houmous as rubbish!
I know that DD makes her own (and very good it is too).

Callistemon Wed 30-Oct-19 09:43:53

Oh lovely!
Thank you Gabriella

I bought mine in Tesco which isn't on the list and have eaten most of it, so far so good.
But I will warn DIL just in case.

GabriellaG54 Wed 30-Oct-19 09:28:38

It's currently the 7th article down on MailOnline app. You could download, read then remove app if you don't want it permanently on your mobile.

GabriellaG54 Wed 30-Oct-19 09:23:30

Apparently it takes about 48-72 hours for the effects of eating any of the contaminated humous to be felt.
The whole article can be read in MailOnline.

EllanVannin Wed 30-Oct-19 09:03:45

----don't eat ( rubbish ) stuff like that. I'll stick with my home-made pea and ham soup smile
