Houmous.

[Beef Oven]

"Humus" is a type of compost (not to be confused with "a type of 'compote'").

Not to be confused with "hummus", "houmous", "humous", "hommos", "humos", "hummos" or "hummous", which are the various English spellings of the Arabic حمّص بطحينة which means "chickpeas with tahini".

"Humus" is often confused with the chickpea puree, as anyone who has tried Aldi's "Everyday Value" humous will concur.

All true of course!

[David-G]

You don't need Tahini

Is my suggestion

(but if you do , make sure it's fresh, as stale Tahini is like gearbox oil)

Garlic in industrial quantities

Better without the garlic.

I can't think of many things (well OK Malt Whisky )
that aren't crying out for Garlic, Anchovies or Olive Oil

Or even the holy trinity of all three

My lunch: pastrami sandwich, with gherkins and mustard.

Seriously no, but when it reaches S Wilts or the Hampshire coast I will give it a bash.
Do they sell it in pie and mash shops as a desert?

No, because I made it up

Sorry ts, sorry Lebanon

I am afraid I am of the opposite view! I can't think of anything that isn't better without garlic. But anchovies we can agree on.

Some of my contacts , who like to try something new and exotic, are going to be disappointed , so I might just have to make big pot to my own recipe and see how it pans out. Nothing ventured....

Ok, but add a little bit of ginger. The chinless wonders that shop in Waitrose and drive Volvos will buy it up hand over fist!

Never let it be said that the Beefster might stoop to over-generalisation!
