August 2025 all-topic thread

Hello all, and welcome to the hottest month of the year. Well, historically anyway. I have a feeling it will not be as hot as previous years were, but that is just a hunch, not a scientific announcement.

Jim

For some, it is a matter of texture. Plus not all hummus is created equally, some I like while others are meh.

I don't like honey, but I'll eat honey nut Cheerios. Go figure.

حمص

The pronunciation is much the same as when we say "hummus".

Chickpea and garbanzo are the same thing. حمص

I guess it all depends on who makes it, what they put into it, and how they serve it.

You could use any number of different ingredients. Make it thicker, or thinner. Serve it as a dip. Spread in on sandwiches. Spread it on your flatbread before you make a wrap. It could be a spread or sauce. It could be a side dish. Toss it with your salad like a salad dressing. Even just eat it whole, like any other bean.



It all depends on who makes it, how they make it, and what they add into it.

Chicken wings. Easy to pronounce, and even easier to gobble down.

Just like buffalo wings (which I like better than chicken wings).

Only problem with buffalo wings for me is thinking about all those poor buffaloes not being able to fly anymore because someone sold their wings.

I've had buffalo meat. In The USA, it's American Bison. Tommy's Joynt in SF has it on the menu. Safeway sells it. The same animal that Native Americans used to hunt. It's now raised on farms.





Flavor? Texture? To me, it was just like beef. Just not worth buying. Too expensive. Triple the cost. I gain nothing from spending more money.

Ever tried beefalo? It's a cross between beef and buffalo. The concept was beef flavor with the cheaper feeding of buffalo. I never did, and I don't think it ever caught on.
