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.

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.

The statement implies that there is at least some garlic in your peanut butter.
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.

Uhh yes... Nothing like a hummus and jelly sandwich
To be fair, depending on how the hummus is seasoned, that might work quite well.

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.
Mixed with cocoa it makes a nice hazelnut-free alternative to Nutella.
I think hummus contains tahini.
It does. And in a pinch, if I run out of tahini, I'll make hummus with peanut butter.

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.

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

And hollandaise is just bougie mayo.
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.
Hold up there. If you're putting sauce on ravioli, that makes it a casserole.
Also yes. Also lasagna. And possibly an enchilada.
