Can never make it a good as Co-op's own brand.
I like the the Moroccan style. They should bring out a Lebanese.

Point of order. Never tinned, ever. Rehydrated dried chick peas take more organisation but the texture will be vastly superior in the end.
Trick is tahini, too little and it's chickpea rubble, too much it's like glue. Add a tbsp at a time and test in between until you're happy. Keep lemon juice on hand to break it up. Finish with additional olive oil (extra virgin only).

I wouldn't say 'never'. It's perfectly OK for me. However...
... is the right answer.

Baba is well worth getting excited about. Speaking of which, Fil Fil on Gardner Street does fantastic falafel wraps, etc, a great baba and I'm rather partial to their flu medames too.
PS make my hummus with chickpeas; in fact, I'm now off to put some into soak.

Tahini is sort of like peanut butter made from sesame seed and it's used a lot in Mid East baking and cooking (check out tahini and chocolate cake etc). You should be able to get it from any supermarket.

It's an thickish oil made from sesame seeds. Every supermarket sells it. You ideally want light tahini.
About £1.80 a jar. For the recipe above, you'll want about half a jar.
I prefer the falafels from We Love Falafel in Sydney Street to Fil Fil

Anyone that lives near Green Lanes in Haringay, try any one of their multiple choice of Greek\Cypriot\Turkish restaurants. You'll seriously not be disappointed.

I was going to try making my own raita, I used to get it free with my curries and only recently found out what it was called.

I'm like that with peanut butter. If I could fake pregnancy, that would give me the perfect excuse to just guzzle the stuff by the absolute truckload.

Nothing like a trip to Hummus Bros for lunch. Fresh pitta and bucket of hummus.
