    It’s blended beans, people treat it like caviar even though the bread is the expensive part. You should be loading your bread up to capacity

      As a former broke person, I have a habit of doing this with all dips. Dips, fancy cheese, creams, etc often felt like caviar

      It’s not just beans. Good hummus should also have a solid amount of good olive oil, tahini, and fresh garlic and lemon. Pita is flour, yeast, and water which are like the cheapest ingredients.

        I’m aware, I’m just saying that if you make $5 worth of hummus you are going to be spending about the same amount (if not more) on pita. Compared to, e.g. a baked brie, where you need $3 worth of dipping instruments to consume $10-15 worth of dip
