congratulations, you have achieved peace in the middle east, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the IOF are organizing a joint operation to stop you.

I just made spicy peanut butter for some ramen yesterday on a whim, it was very good.

Peanuts and chickpeas are both legumes.

Tahini is made from sesame seeds. So, I’d say not as closely related.

I agree, superficially they're similar but Hummus is emulsified in an external fat, the tahini, while peanut butter is emulsified in its own fat.

Tahini is closer to peanut butter than hummus, hummus is like making a peanut sauce from the peanut butter.

S+ tier pun

Was starting to think I was legumes.*

Yeah, I use unsweetened peanut butter (effectively just mushed peanuts) in lots of recipes where tahini would normally be used.

I still need to figure out, if I'm using tahini wrong. 😅
Sesame always tastes bitter to me, as does tahini. Peanut butter doesn't...

Yes bad at all.

Got a falafel with peanut butter based hummus once. left the restaurant after the first bite, more disapointing than the GOT finale

Bad hummus is. Good hummus will have other ingredients like garlic and lemon.

Peanut butter is the opposite. Good peanut butter is just ground peanuts. Bad peanut butter includes a bunch of random garbage like sugar and palm oil. You know peanut butter is good if it has oil on top at the store.

And mayo is just raw eggs

I was like that. I really didnt like some. I got some beetroot hummus and it changed me, Ill put it on anything. Now I love the stuff, roast veg on hummus and flatbread is bliss.

Baba ganoush too

If you've only had Sabra, I wouldn't blame you. There are many brands and homemade can be among the best.
