    Hummus is made from chickpeas which are, like beans, a legume. Therefore, Hummus with Pita falls under the “Beans on Toast” family of foods. (So do PBJs by the way)

    Who knew that the only possible way to get more mileage out of pita bread was to add the onion? :-P

    Haha! My favorite (the only) middle eastern food place near where I live used to give too much pita with everything. It was glorious.

    Like just about everywhere, COVID hit them and now you get barely enough. Sigh.

    The supermarket I shop at has shit pitta, but pretty decent hummus, so I’ve started buying garlic-coriander naans to have with it instead - I highly recommend it! They’re also usually much bigger, so problem solved lol

      I once sponsored a similar study, but my results were that when you finally added enough pita, you suddenly had a lack of hummus. I’ve attempted to offset the surfeit of pita with additional accoutrements, but testing is still ongoing.

      Additional funding may be needed, especially when attempting to factor in the effect of additional diners participating in the appetizer event.

    I would suggest reducing the amount of hummus to keep the amount of precious pita needed. Of course, raise the price because smaller dishes are fancier dishes.

    Can the data generated be applied to making nachos with the perfect ratio of toppings to chips?

    I didn’t see anywhere in the article how much is the right amount of pita bread. It’s a metric fuckton, right?

    I am skeptical. If there is more pita, you know you can take more hummus with each dip, so you will still run out of hummus first. I seems scientifically impossible. At least until we find the actual hummus to pita capacity, and I doubt they could have.
