Where have the houmous lids gone??

[SignatureShortdeads]

Has anyone else noticed that some supermarkets have stopped including the plastic lid on houmous tubs, meaning that once you’ve removed the seal, it’s just footloose and fancy free if you don’t happen to finish it all in one go??

I take a tub in the car for DC to have with breadsticks on the way back from school or often include it in picnics. We usually don’t use it all in one sitting (and definitely not when it’s part of the aforementioned after school snack), but now there’s no way of nicely covering it back up so it stays fresh and doesn’t end up smeared all over my car’s upholstery

I noticed Sainsbury’s were first to let it go, and now Asda. Anyone else mildly irritated by this?!

YABU - it’s better this way
YANBU - bring back the houmous lid

Yes, was delighted to find ones with a lid in Morrisons while away last week. Took them home for reuse!

How do you make it please...

Yoghurt the same. I buy a big pot to last the week at work and have resorted to covering it with a sandwich bag secured with a hair band.

You can get ice cube trays with large capacity. Saw some which hold 300g of hm soup per ‘cube’

Avoid Sabra hummus - they support the Israeli military.

i prefer Romanas hummus or making my own

tin of chick peas (drained)
garlic

For flavoured ones, add half a red pepper or a snacking red pepper, chillis or other things you want.

Tahini is optional

In a mini chopper or the chopper attachment of a stick blender, place in the blender and blend to a consistency to suit.

RAMONAS!

It's terrible with online food shopping, having no lids on big pots of yoghurt now. Too often the flimsy film lid is pierced by something else in the bag and is leaking and coating other things in yogurt. It's infuriating.

Another reason why I love Sabra hummus. So annoying that some shops have stopped selling it.

Lemon juice is essential, and a drizzle of olive oil

😂
We need the laugh emoji back!

I buy both hummus and massive pots of yoghurt on a weekly basis and haven't noticed this! Sounds annoying though.

Sabra hummus is the best! They still stock it in a fair few places. And Ramona’s too.

Yep, coleslaw and single/double cream are the same. Super annoying.

^ This. I've always found another use for them and they last ages.

YANBU
I love Houmous. Take it to work then realise I can't transport safely home.
Simple pleasures in life are important and the lid gate is a nuisance

Moo pops from Amazon… silicone lids that fit most big yoghurt pots and humous - game changer 😅 decanting leftovers into other pots is a faff and seems to reduce the shelf life of the product imo. The moopops are great, and I guess will cut down on single use plastic. you need tk experiment a bit with the sizes. But the do one specifically for humous

I have name changed in honour of this post, which is spot on.

I also end up throwing more dried out old hummus away and buying more which I'm sure is good for the supermarket profits but definitely not the environment.

I sometimes put the entire hummus pot in a plastic bag, which again isn't really good for the environment, not compared to hard plastic.

So many "environmental" initiatives just make every normal person's life that little bit harder / more expensive whilst having no to negative real impact on the environment. I'm fairly sure the plastic film is more environmentally unfriendly than the hard lid.

And yes, people in the US don't think about this at all. They don't care, we're pissing into the wind with this stuff. It is irritating, YADNBU OP.

I haven’t rtft, but Moopops are great for this!

It’s very annoying. Maybe learn to make it? It take 2 minutes in a food processor or blender. If you keep in chickpeas, garlic, olive oil, salt and tahini you can make it any time.

Lidl coleslaw has lids. I like their cheese coleslaw.

Waitrose hummus has lids.

I'm puzzled why this is a issue though. A pot of hummus lasts about ten seconds in our house.

Beggars belief that they say it's for environmental reasons - the hummus is in fucking plastic. It's just more arseache for customers. And waste. As for the special sunbeam who decided to take the lids off cream, if they ever make themselves known to me I will kill them with my bare fucking hands, the stupid cream-wasting fuck.

Anyway, sabra hummus has lids. Lidl deluxe coleslaw also has lids.

Where sells cream with lids?

Similar but not the same, is the problem.

Same with the dip lids…. It’s frustrating, some things NEED lids!
