Hummus a battlefield

Oh dear, the Mid-East is reduced to war by tahini:

War between Lebanon and Israel is being waged, not with guns or butter, but with tahini, as they vie to create the world’s largest hummus dish, observers say.

Lebanon set the record Saturday for the creation of the largest plate of hummus. About 300 Lebanese chefs in a village about 5 miles east of Beirut came up with a dish weighing 11.5 tons. That’s 23,042 pounds of a combination of chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice and olive oil, CNN reported.
