Best hummus & ethnic grocery stores

[shootingstar]

We have 2 homes in 2 different cities, of which I can't afford to buy duplicate appliances. So, no blender but I don't miss it because he is the blender person, not me.

Great, if one wants to make their own hummus and has it frequently. But I don't. I just enjoy a tub from the store, maybe less than once per month. But yes, to make something from scratch is a great deal. I always feel that way when I make my own large sheet pan of focaccia.
As for pannier(s) already loaded with groceries from another store, I do tend to like bigger ethnic supermarkets with a shopping cart so that I can throw in the weighted panniers in there.

Occasionally I will leave a pannier on bike locked outside if there's no valuable stuff inside.

And that is another helpful criteria: a place to lock up a bike in front of store.

Actually going in a large Middle Eastern grocery store made me see the same Eastern Asian groceries from a different perspective...when they sell it.

Teas with colonial image packaging (of course, these other countries had British colonial past whereas Chinese and Japanese teas don't have that type of visual branding at all).

I have to say that I was inspired enough to do a blog post which...won't be released for a few weeks.
