Israel #2: Houmous

This one mainly for the Japanese crowd, as everyone wants to know 'what do Israeli's eat?'
Supermarket plastic-container houmous was rejected by these two as being virtually inedible. Instead you should go to a place like Humus Lina which makes up two vats of a morning then closes shop by the time they sell out. Not a bad way to do business.

Actually, I loved the idea of houmous as a meal in itself, covered in chickpeas, olive oil, tahini, garlic, lemon juice and spices. Scoop it out with unlimited pitta or, even better, raw onion.

Very tasty, mighty fine dining.
