I also marked it, but was wondering, what would I use it with?  It's hard to imagine its taste.  Help me out, please.    JF

I was wondering the same thing about the taste.  Is it good with veggies or more in line with the corn crisps?

JF and Tres,

Honestly, I have never made it so I can't give suggestions on what to serve with it and the recipe, as written, didn't give any either. But almost all hummus is served with veggies so that is what I think may work.  Now what kind of veggies? I would probably used baby carrots.  I think putting it on corn thins would make them soggy.

Thanks.  Another reason to have chickpeas on hand.  Note to self:  When in the bean aisle, don't forget the chickpeas!

Oh, and Tres, there is a delicious chick pea soup that Little Mary came up with that I make sometimes.  It is a curried chick pea soup, I think.  I'll look for it and post the link here for you.
