How?s everyone coping with the hummus situation? Not only was regular hummus all out of stock in Sainsbury?s yesterday, now there?s news of a salmonella recall on a load of hummus products made for various supermarkets. (Although looks like only the snacking variety in Sainsbury?s). It?s often out of stock when I go. Is it under-stocked or has ED developed a massive collective hankering for chick pea and tahini deliciousness?

"Lidl, Aldi, Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrisons issue urgent recall for hummus over 'deadly salmonella scare"

"The first recall covered expiration dates up to November 7th, but it's now been extended a further 10 years."


Looks bad - but Heart Radio went a bit overboard (I think they mean 10 days)

Co-Op has emerged unscathed, you can mark yourself ?safe? on Facebook and the like. I find their hummus a bit dense, what do you think of it?

It's this one:



https://www.cearaskitchen.com/fluffy-oil-free-hummus/


I use a can of chickpeas and just shove all the liquid (aquafaba) in. I don't measure it.


I use half the amount of chilli powder she does, and sometimes I add a quarter teaspoon of turmeric (for health not taste reasons).


I only use one clove of garlic, but obviously it depends on the size of the clove and the strength of the garlic.


I make it in a (tallish) measuring jug with my stick blender on a speed of 6 then turbo.


The first time I used my food processor, but with the stick blender there is less washing up :)


I've tried other hummus recipes and I really don't miss the oil when I make it this way.

This sounds good, thanks Sue. Small tip - our bodies find it difficult to absorb the circumin (healthy compound in turmeric) without black pepper, so I'd add some to any recipe that you make with it.

Strange that it's the second time I've heard of the black pepper this week (first was for golden milk)

Odd but true:

"For example, piperine, a known bioavailability enhancer, is the major active component of black pepper [16] and is associated with an increase of 2000% in the bioavailability of curcumin [17]. Therefore, the issue of poor bioavailability appears to be resolved by adding agents such as piperine that enhance bioavailability, thus creating a curcumin complex." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5664031/#B17-foods-06-00092

Even academic studies apparently tend to add something like piperine to help keep curcuminoids in the body longer and hence more available.

Yes you're absolutely right and I'd forgotten about that, trouble is I'm not sure black pepper would go well with the hummus!

Don't know, because usually I eat it all within a few days :)


But if it started looking a bit frothy and/or smelling a bit odd, I would bin it.


I imagine it lasts as long as shop-bought hummus does (assuming the shop-bought hummus doesn't have some kind of preservative in it, which I don't think it does).


ETA: I usually transfer it to a covered container in the fridge, eg an old takeaway container. I have loads of those because I freeze things in them :)

Vote Tory as we will be able to get excellent trade deals with the hummus producing nations rather than depend on the ebbs and flows of the European market - a shortage one month and a slurry lake the next.


I've heard that the clangers are dead keen to sign a deal over green soup and Noggin, King of the country of Nog, wanting to do similar over whatever they produce there.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
