Hummus, There's A Documentary For That | Part 2
I’ve finally finished the Hummus! documentary. The first half was better than the second, but I was still able to eke out some thoughts.
The man that I mentioned yesterday that didn’t think that women could make hummus…well, it turns out that he’s just all the things…old, cranky, and narcissistic. I no longer hold his previous comment against him. He seriously can’t do any better.
Jamaicans are everywhere (even places they have no place being like in this documentary). One of the side people featured, it turns out he was born in Jamaica. I never really understood his storyline from the beginning. He made some reggae song about hummus making you mad and was also the spiritual advisor for one of the main people featured, but how he made it into this documentary baffled me. When I found out that he was born in Jamaica, then it made sense. We’re everywhere.
There are 20 kinds of chickpeas in Israel. Yeah…exactly. I have lots of questions, but no one to answer them.
Don’t let anyone tell you that your dreams can’t come true because they had a different outcome. One of the guys in the movie wants to move to Berlin and open a hummus restaurant there. He tells his friend who tells him not to do it. Apparently, this guy left Israel and then ended up returning so now he thinks it’s a fool’s mission. I won’t go into the details of what happens because I believe someday you might want to watch a documentary about hummus. Anyway, it doesn’t matter what happened in the doc, the point is, don’t let anyone define your dream for you. They know absolutely nothing.
I wrote “married to hummus” in my notes, but I have no idea what that means. If you’ve watched it and have any idea what that could possibly mean, please let me know.

** I think this is my first “part 2” post. Who would have thought hummus would inspire that?
