Both are pastes made of mashed beans (peanuts and chickpeas are beans.) They also have a similar nutrient profile and are both used for similar dishes.

Would you consider mushy peas and refried beans in the same family, too?

[-] nodsocket@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

No, but they are related. They differ because only hummus and peanut butter are used as condiments/dip as opposed to being eaten alone.

Allow myself to introduce... Myself.

PB straight up is a great snack. They even sell little packets of peanut butter to be eaten by itself out here. I've also been known to eat the left over hummus with a spoon after all my pita chips are gone.

Are you sure you’re not just confused about those single serving peanut butter packets they leave on the table at brunch places to spread on your toast 😅?

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 points 1 year ago

No. These are sold right next to the chips and popcorn in the snack aisle. Justin's Nut Butter is the brand. They have more than just peanut butter, but also almond, hazelnut, and other mixed flavors.

I believe you, but I’ll admit the first thing I thought of was the little carousel of jams and peanut butter at a breakfast place, haha.

Bean dip or eating refried beans with chips or tortillas is not unusual at all. In fact, dipping tortilla in beans is basically eating hummus with pita.

Pshaw!

If you have never hung around with my cousin, you might think that. But I've seen him get stoned as fuck and sit there finger-spooning either hummus or peanut butter into his gaping maw while washing them down with Dr Pepper. Sometimes he changes things up and uses RC cola.

I suspect, when I show him this, he'll take it as a challenge and try both at the same time.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
