You must give up guacamole or hummus for the rest of your life.
Why? Because I am in charge and I so decree.
If you cannot choose, you may have neither. For the rest of your life.
What’ll it be?
(note that you cannot mash up avocados and call it “not guacamole” and you cannot mash up garbanzo beans and call it “not hummus”. You are also giving up the 'cados and 'banzos)
Since I don’t like guacamole(or avocados in general), that’s an easy choice.
I eat more hummus, but also love guac. I’d give up the guac mostly because it doesn’t keep well.
Hummus is fine, nothing wrong with it, it makes a perfectly acceptable dip for pita chips or whatever…
but good guacamole is food of the gods. Which makes this an easy enough choice for me.
And I know that if running coach and I are ever together at some event with snacks, we won’t be competing for dip.
Hummus is easier to make, I usually keep canned chickpeas in the pantry. It always seems the avocados at the store are too hard and will take a couple days to ripen. Who plans that far ahead?
But I do love guacamole.
Hmmmm, one of the tougher choices I’ve ever been asked to make. I’d pick Guac, because Baba Ganoush could fill my hummus niche.
Bloody hell Mr. Mustard, you really ARE mean, arntcha?
Really tough call, but the thought of giving up pittas, stuffed with falafel, packed with pickled chillies, and oozing with hummus is unbearable.
As with kayaker, I’d have to fill my dipping hole (as it were) with baba ganoush and taramasalata.
Porque no los dos?
I’d miss guac, but I like hummus better. Keeps longer.
Hummus .
Easiest poll I’ve ever seen 
.
Heh. Perishability of guacamole and humus has never been an issue for me. 
Up until this very moment I thought Sophie’s Choice was the most cruel decision a person could ever be faced with.
Damn you. Damn you to hell, MMM. :mad:
I know, I know.
For me, it’s 50.1% guac, 49.9% hummus.
mmm
For me, Hummus is all about the bread and the dip (lovely though it is) is the sideshow. Giving up the hummus means I’m not giving up the best bit of it.
A perfect guacamole is a thing of ephemeral beauty. All the more precious because the ripeness of the avocados on offer dictates whether you can make it all and when you do it don’t keep. (though my tip is to pat down a layer of cling-film onto the top of the guacamole, pushing all the air out. That way it’ll not discolour for a couple of days…like it’s going to last that long anyway:rolleyes:)
So guacamole it is.
Aye; I only had to think for about .02 seconds on this one before I was saying what Qadgop said.
Guac is good but hummus is da bomb.
Is this really a question? Taking away my hummus is tantamount to taking away my oxygen.
In that case, out of spite and to keep the world from spinning off its axis, put me down for hummus.
A couple of people have mentioned that hummus lasts longer than guac. This is true. The reason that guac doesn’t last long is because it all gets et.
This. I don’t hate avocado, and if some is lurking in my sushi I’ll eat it. But I don’t eat guac at all. I’m not a huge hummus fan, either, but I do like it in a falafel sandwich, and sometimes put some on a corner of pita as a quick lunch. But if I suddenly became allergic, I’d miss my husband’s killer whole chick pea dish a lot more than hummus.
I feel the same way. Hummus, if it were never invented or goes away, I wouldn’t miss it, but if it’s there I will use it. Guacamole is in another world of flavor treats.
