Random #bitching...
I like #hummus. I happened to be at Sobey's and decided to get some, though it's not where I usually buy hummus. They had this brand, "Fontaine Sante" (sorry, I can't type diacritical marks), and I bought the roasted red pepper "classic natural hummus". It's this one:
https://www.fontainesante.com/en/products/hummus-rrp
It has the usual ingredients you'd expect - chickpeas, tahini, garlic, salt, lemon juice, oil - plus the roasted red pepper. Nothing unusual there.
And it's ... awful. Not only does it not taste like any hummus I've ever had, it actually tastes downright unpleasant. I'm going to end up throwing the nearly-full container in the trash, and I *hate* wasting food. And no, it's not past its best-before date or anything like that. It's fresh.
I feel bad, because it's a Canadian company, but this stuff is inedible. The brand I usually buy is Sabra, but they don't carry that at Sobey's, plus it's American. I can eat their stuff by the pound.
Anyone familiar with this Fontaine Sante brand? Is it always like this?
@cazabon their hummus is not great can confirm. I recently tried Baba Hummus, another Canadian brand, and it is _super_ good.
(I love the fediverse. 3 minutes after I post a random rant someone has answered with validation and suggested an alternative)
Thanks, I'm glad it's not just me! I'm in the prairies, so while Baba looks really good, I don't like my chances of finding it out here. I'll check next time I'm at the grocery store or try to find a specialty shop that has it.
