to think that hummus is not a sandwich filling? (lighthearted)

[grumpysquash]

I was at a work lunch yesterday (think trays of sandwiches, posh crisps) where I picked up a sandwich and bit into it without really looking closely. It turned out to be hummus, grated carrot and something sweet, raisins or grapes or something. I was a bit but no chance to spit it out as I was talking to someone important.

Is that really a sandwich filling or just a joke by the caterers?

I like that sandwich.

Well that sounds vile but YA still BU.

My uni shop used to sell a hummus and roasted pepper sandwich on ciabatta and it was the food of the gods.

Yes, t makes a god sandwich filing with salad. You wierdo

I regularly use that as a filling for my boys lunches! Hummus, carrot & cucumber ribbons in a wrap. Yum.

Raisins have no place in any sandwich!

That sounds nice, except I don't like carrot. It's great for veggies. I don't think hummus on it's own is but when put with other stuff it's great.

i think that sounds good too.
But I do sympathise with the shock factor and trying to keep your face straight.

I am genuinely offended by the notion of raisins in a sandwich .

It's perfectly normal and has been a fairly standard option for a while. (I hate the bits of fruit though )
Take more care over sandwich selection.

Sounds like they've been reading the BBC good food site

mmm... hummus. YABU. I'm off to the supermarket, I really want a hummus and carrot sandwich now.

Agree with PP above that hummous with roasted peppers is amazing. Although I wouldn't be fussed about the grated carrot so can see what you mean!

Great thread. Off to make some hummus for later. I love hummus and grated carrot. I would replace the raisins with falafel though.

I like hummous and avocado

Raisins in a sandwich? Horrific. You have my sympathies, OP

YABU. Hummous is a good sandwich feeling and that sandwich sounds yummy.

Looks like IABU :) Maybe the raisins are the unreasonable part!

But hummus is a dip, IMO, best eaten with veggie sticks.

Could be a new range of dip and fruit based sandwiches though:

taramasalata, rocket and pear?
tzatziki and plum?
guacamole and apricot?
mango chutney, lettuce and green pepper?

Anyone like one (offers plate round)?

DS has a houmous sandwich for his packed lunch most days. Don't fancy the raisins much though.

Ick. Raisins, carrots, and humus. All things that do not belong on a sandwich. What happened to just having some lunch meat, cheese, lettuce, and some normal condiment to give it flavor?

Because that is boring Senpai

I was at a work lunch, our office caterer is really terrible, their latest culinary invention is a CHICK PEA sandwich! Whole chick peas and a bit of lettuce. Truly vile.

The only way to eat is houmous is by dipping warm pitta bread cut in to soldiers in to it

The houmous sounds fine. Raisins in a sandwich, however, are an abomination.

Hummus needs something to anchor it in a sandwich - preferably falafel and salad or roast vegetables, in a pitta - or it's just a bit damp and limp. The raisins are the truly disgusting bit in your sandwich, OP. Why in God's name does it seem standard to put them in grated carrot salad? Eurgh.

Hummus and Marmite sandwiches are utterly divine
