What I like is in the small ramekin.The bf digs the hummus at the Afghan restaurant, Sansom Kabob House, in
I’m not a fan of their hummus.
But just because I don’t like something doesn’t mean it’s not good. People have their preferences. I don’t prefer ultra creamy, smooth hummus with pronounced tahini bitterness like the hummus he loves so much, and is served beneath the street level at Sansom Kabob House.
What I do like is the dipping sauce that comes with the hummus. Love it!
I’m not one to dip bread in fine olive oil at Italian restaurants and discern the regional nuances – it tastes like oil – but this I’ll stick bread in. The sauce (don’t know its name) that accompanies the hummus is oily, herby, tangy, and spicy. This sauce tastes like pickle juice with heat, and is balanced with olive oil.
And that I can dip into! Your preferences may differ.

Agreed. When I make my hummus I make sure to pulse it in my Cuisinart as opposed to letting 'er rip. I like the textural qualities of bits and chunks of chickpea in my hummus. Not to mention sweet little clumps of roasted garlic that hasn't been totally destroyed by the blade of the machine!
Hmmm, never one to turn down hummus or fun dipping sauces, I might run out to this at lunch today (see as how it's two blocks from the ol' office). BTW, love the intro picture...something about it's just nice.
DWA - I'm somewhere between smooth and chunky.
Jenn - Thanks. You lucky Center City workers have so many lunch options.
Since you started to focus a bit more at lunch spots in Wilmington, I have a recommendation to help the restaurant-less WIlmington lunch frustrations. I don't know if you have ever eaten at Utage, but it is really consistent and really good for Wilmington restaurants. It's not downtown, but it isn't too far away (it's in Independence Mall on Concord Pike) If you have some time for lunch and are craving a solid restaurant in DE, I would recommend it.
Atlas - Thanks for the tip. I've actually eaten at Utage a handful of times. It's probably my favorite place in Wilmington for Sushi, but doesn't make the "within walking distance" cut. That criteria may change - depending on the day.
