…nos habebit hummus…!

“…nos habebit hummus…!”


-A great pun & true for a few at least as pictured.

I am disappointed that the Hibernian tradition of chickpea dips was given less than short shrift, and a great and varied tradition it is: you have the solidly time-honored Hummus of Bandon, the Hummus of Ballyloughlin, the Hummus of Carrigaholt - to name but a few - and the mack-daddy of them all, the Hummus of Whiskey.

Man. Guess that might’ve gotten a better response in the ITM Forum. :laughing:

Sure you’re not thinking of humus? No one can touch the Irish for humus, each town with its own earthy variety. I must say, the humus of whiskey has always puzzled me, though.

We could avoid a turf war.

Oh for peat’s sake!

Yes, yes. Let’s not allow this thread to bog down.

I am afraid this thread has decomposed beyond any hope. I see no revival on the horizon. I will not soil this place with any further comment.

Our loess, then.

Thank you. This made me glad to have stopped in this evening. :smiley:

Lebanon James isn’t doing too well agains the Celtics. :stuck_out_tongue:

“Humuside: Life on the Peat”

It bears repeating I try not to get mired in histosols. But mucking about seems to be my forte.

I can dig it.
