There are these caramel beans or something. I don't remember what the name of them is, so I never buy them, but every time I chance into them at a sholom zochor or the like, they are incredible.
If you ever find out, please let me know, I'd like to find something pareve that's incredible.

I was wondering why you were being so quiet the last few hours. Now it makes sense. Your mouth got glued shut from that thick, sticky caramel filling.

Now that’s a matter of taste. To me Sabra taste way too commercial.
Is there any packaged Chummos that doesn't taste too commercial?
Like for guac, homemade is the way to go.

Fact check: false, I can type as I chew. I'm still chewing. It's been 3 days, but I think I may finish soon. Was a bit awkward not being able to leave the sholom zochor 'cause I said the chewing constituted carrying.

I agree. But IMHO Sabra tastes even more commercial than other brands, if that is at all possible.

Right, anything fresh made in a store or restaurant can be good.
But I've yet to have good shelf stable chummos or guac. Would love to know if it exists as they're all mediocre.

From the commercial packaged Chummus I like Achla the best.
I usually make my own Chummus

+1 I would definitely think achla tastes the least commercial. Sonny and joe's too but it just tastes like homemade garbage so that's not really a thing
Still looking for a good MS method :)
