    To be fair, you could not get really good Humus in the US until very recently. The Humus they have in the middle east is a delicacy. If you go to some Lebanese, Israeli or Egyptian restaurants you might be able to get good Humus in the US.

    Ya Hala on 8005 SE Stark St, Portland, OR 97215 had good Humus last time I was there (around July 2018)

    I contend that there's no such thing as good humus.

    I could tout to you some excellent squid and do you think you'd like it? The good part is it would involve some beer drinking.
    By the way, the way I learned to eat oysters on the half shell was by drinking some beers first.

    My mother definitely did not make ham!

    I just made a batch of hummus today while watching the hearings. Garbanzos had soaked overnight. Multitasker.

    Geez man!
    Good squid is to be is easy to like. Oysters on the half shell are delicacy done properly. A sip of Glenfiddich in the sniffter, then the oyster, followed by a healthy drag on the snifter.
    Adding Horseradish and lemon to the shell before you begin the routine. Several in a rapid succession adds to the pleasure.

    Right! Well there are several delicacies that just don't eat well without a bit of drink.
    Like raw oysters on the half shell.
    Then Haggis comes to mind. I never did get the hang that one.

    My wife is getting a Honeybaked ham because we often have both a ham and a turkey at Thanksgiving. Might have to look into that, though.

    Edit:
    It's mail order and they don't deliver to this area.

    I'm not a fan of regular ham to be honest. The spanish/italian versions are so much better. I think its the thin slices.
