This Is How Lebanon and Israel Should Settle Their Differences... With Hummus !

Jews & Arabs Battle Over Biggest Plate of Chick Pea Poo ....

The best thing we can say is that no one has died over this 'War' - at least not yet. A battle has been raging in the Middle East the past month, although it has garnered little press. Maybe it's because it's a battle over Hummus. I had my first taste of it this weekend - I recommend the roasted red pepper hummus over the spinach version , it has much more bite.

I know, in SC, you're thinking 'what the f**k is Hummus?' It's a dip like condiment that you put on chips, crackers - just about anything. And in the Middle East, they do. It's made from chick peas, and blended until it's like paste. That's the consistency I was searching for - joint compound. That's what it feels like...

Like I said, Hummus is a big deal in Lebanon and Israel. Picture the same battles that we have over barbeque. Now you get the idea, except they live on a pile of rocks , so there is little else going on. Last month, a 2,000 pound plate of Hummus was made in Lebanon (pictured above). Not to be outdone, Israel came back with a 4,000 pound plate just this past weekend. The good news is that this was a plate made with the help of both Arabs and Jews, so in Hummus, there is hope for the future. Neither country does jack shit in the Olympics, so this is about as good as we're gonna do, folks...
