There's way more garlic in my hummus
I say tahini and peanut butter are the same thing because a tahini and jelly sandwich is pretty good.

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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

Yes, this is the answer. In theory, you could make peanut butter hummus, but you couldn't make hummus peanut butter.
But you could make chickpeanut butter
I wish I could make a chick pea my nut butter.
You know the difference between chickpeas and garbanzo beans?
I've never paid to have a garbanzo bean on my face.
You know the difference between ketchup and peanut butter?
I don't have to go to the doctor when I catch up.

The statement implies that there is at least some garlic in your peanut butter.
There's a lot of garlic in mine. You should try it, it's fucking delicious.
are both used for similar dishes.
Man, I love hummus and jelly sandwiches. As well as my peanut butter shawarma.
Reese's hummus cups are to die for.
Mmm, I'm going to melt some hummus over my ice cream.
I know you're joking, but You've just given me the Idea for pad Thai shawarma.

Tbh, a stoned discovery that I still enjoy is chocolate chip cookies dipped in hummus.
Hold up... Melting peanut butter over ice cream?
How did it take me four decades on this earth to find out that this was an option‽
Treat yourself.
I especially like to use chunky peanut butter.

Peanut butter can be made solely with blended peanuts. Hummus is rarely, if ever ime, made with only blended chickpeas and also requires some oil/tahini for even the basic texture.

This is the kind of thinking that leads to tomatoes ending up in fruit salad.

Uhh yes... Nothing like a hummus and jelly sandwich
To be fair, depending on how the hummus is seasoned, that might work quite well.
Peanut butter is paired with sweet while Hummus is paired with savory.
So not the same? 😛

If you want to compare something to peanut butter, check out tahini. It's basically peanut butter made out of sesame seeds, and even has a (kinda) similar flavor profile. Tahini and grape jam is delicious.
I think hummus contains tahini.
It does. And in a pinch, if I run out of tahini, I'll make hummus with peanut butter.

Mixed with cocoa it makes a nice hazelnut-free alternative to Nutella.
Do you have taste buds?
Idk man. I’d put peanut butter on a falafel pocket long before I’d have a hummus and jelly sandwich.
Except chocolate hummus. That shit is a totally different category though.

Peanuts and chickpeas are both legumes, just like beans. Therefor I propose that PB&Js amd hummus on bread should all be classified under "Beans on Toast"
This is an example of British colonization.

Peanut butter usually has sugar in it, but it doesn’t have to. Peanuts can be great in savory dishes too, such as Thai peanut sauce. I eat peanut butter with celery and hot sauce.
I am a peanut butter purist, so IMO real peanut butter is just crushed peanuts and maybe some salt. Anything else is just a peanut-flavored spread.
Peanut butter with sugar in it is gross to me. I specifically look for it without any sugar in the ingredients. It doesn't have to be sweet!
My favorite is from those machines some grocery stores have that grind it up on the spot - nothing but peanut. Definitely shows the extra ingredients like sugars, oils etc in some jarred ones are totally superfluous. Kind of offensive, really, how some major brands remove the peanut oil and replace it with a cheaper oil.

And hollandaise is just bougie mayo.
Would you consider mushy peas and refried beans in the same family, too?
No, but they are related. They differ because only hummus and peanut butter are used as condiments/dip as opposed to being eaten alone.
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.

But the song 'Hummus and jelly time' doesnr have the same ring to it...
Sung by a dancing fig with a tambourine
I had a delicious Peanut Stew at a West African restaurant. It was savory, hearty and delicious. Peanuts are much more versatile than what they are typically used for
I don't put mouthfuls of hummus into my mouth
You're missing out
In the way that ravioli, dumplings, and calzones are technically sandwiches.

They add stuff to peanut butter to keep the oil from separating, and they add a bunch of sugar. It's ground finer too.
I literally never bought pb that isn't 100% peanuts. Sometimes with a bit of salt. Stop buying junk.

It's not automatically "junk", it's flavored.
It just happens to be the most popular flavor in the U.S.
I like my spicy red pepper hummus, other people like their extra-oil-and-sugar smooth consistency non-separating peanut butter.
It's like the difference between corn flakes and frosted flakes.
