Sabra Rosemary and Sea Salt Hummus
Ms. Hen loves hummus. One could say she is a hummus junkie.
She is a former pescatarian, and for most of that time, she was a vegetarian.
But she decided one day that she would branch out and eat chicken and turkey,
because she likes them, and there wasn't anybody to tell her that she couldn’t. She
thought she would only eat chicken and turkey occasionally, but as time went on, she ate more and more.
But she still loves her hummus. She cannot survive unless
she has hummus in her refrigerator. She went through a phase last fall when she
made hummus all the time, mostly red pepper hummus, and she made pumpkin hummus
in October, but it would spoil too quickly, and she couldn’t make it as fast as
she needed to consume it.
Last week, Ms. Hen went to Shaw’s to purchase a few items, and
she saw that there was Rosemary and Sea Salt Hummus, and she thought that
sounded quirky, so she bought it. She likes taking chances and trying new
things sometimes, even if it’s just food at the supermarket. She didn’t know
what to expect from this hummus, but she soon found out.
When she ate the hummus on crackers, it tasted like chicken
to her, because of the rosemary flavor. She didn’t know if she liked her hummus
to taste like chicken, but she found she couldn’t stop eating it. She knows
that a lot of hummus eaters are vegetarians, and she doesn’t think that those
people would like hummus that tastes like chicken, but she discovered she loved it. But she
didn’t want to love it too much. She felt as if she were betraying her love of
hummus by liking a type that tastes like chicken. But are there rules for love?
she wondered. She didn’t know about the rules of love for hummus, but she
was imagining an uproar in the Sabra hummus community over the Rosemary and Sea
Salt Hummus. She didn’t want to listen to the voices in her head screaming that
this hummus is wrong! It's just wrong! It was an abomination of hummus and the
human race!
Ms. Hen has to calm down. After all, it’s just hummus. It’s
a spread you put on crackers or pita bread.
But the intrinsic idea is there…can you change what people
want? Is it okay to make hummus taste like chicken? Ms. Hen doesn’t know the
answers, but she knows she is a hen that likes chicken and enjoys rebellion.
Rosemary flavored hummus with an essence of chicken? Ms. Hen says yes.
