Forgot to strain lemon juice

No! You can pick a pip out when spreading.

You are kidding?
Pick the pip out when (if!) you find it of course.

Well if it’s anything like the apples we ate as children you’ll run the risk of a lemon tree growing in your stomach if you swallow a pip ?

One pip ?
That reminds me of a very posh do that my mum had been invited to years ago with brother and his now, ex. Mum was given her chosen drink---gin with a squeeze of lemon. There, floating around her glass was a pip. Horror of horrors what does she do with it ?

Rather than fish it out with her fingers where the company might notice, she let it get in her mouth then ate it rather than swallow it and perhaps choke and make a bigger spectacle of herself. Glad I wasn't there

I thought it would be broken up by the food processor and mixed in. And might be poisonous or cause damage. You can tell I'm a very experienced chef.
This is my umpteenth time and never got it right. And the amount of cleaning involved! I think I'll just stick to shop bought. Better get ny apron on....

Same here nadateturbe. I’ve had a few attempts at making hummus and given up. I just couldn’t get it right and it didn’t match up to shop bought.

That is funny EllenVannin. And she lived to tell the tale!

Not just me then Grannywannynanny.

I hasten to add I love baking.

This is such a stupid question. Just made hummus. I know there was at least one pip in the juice. Should I just bin it?

Another time put a strainer over the mixer bowl/ blender goblet!

Mawbe I have a husband to tell me what I should have done ?.

I think I'll stick to what I can do.

I always use this recipe - easy, and tasty

Thanks Lisagran. I might look....

I really wouldn't worry about one lemon pip. (It's not like looking for damson stones in damson jam - now that's a potential tooth-breakage alert!)

I accidentally swallowed a lime pip which was in my G&T yesterday.
I'm worried now - will I be all right?
Is it poisonous?
Will it sprout inside me?
Will it grow into a tree?

Don't worry, Callistemon, just think of it as one of your five-a-day!

Dear God are we reduced to this?

What charleygirl ?

Thanks Davida for your helpful answer.

Callistemon, I do hope none of those things happen to you, try not to worry.

I once disposed of a pot of soup because I blitzed the sachet of bouquet garni, and another time left in the bay leaf. Was this wrong?
You can tell I chose to do Science at school instead of cookery.

I think it is the addition of tahini that gives it that 'houmous-y' taste. Plus leaving it 24 hours to develop.

Charleygirl it might be trivial compared to other topics, but it was very important to me. I'm not very good at cooking (although I do make a good lasagne taught by my MiL). It was actually good being reassured that it was ok to use, and I am so grateful that I have GN. I'm also very nervous about food as I get nauseous very easily.

I always award a prize to the people who find the bay leaves in my spag sauce!

OP..this is a joke / wind up ...right?

Will do Gagajo. thanks....and then spread thinly and look for pip.
It does actually taste quite nice.
