Hummus has its memories. Prior to my entry into the cooking world, I didn’t know that chickpeas were the main ingredient in so much of our food. I hadn’t realized that the chickpeas in hummus with tahini were the same as the chickpeas we coat in colored sugar, or in the sour-and-salty chickpea snack that the lunch lady used to sell me at school.

For us school kids, the best possible treats were lollipops and daqa. The latter are ground, roasted chickpeas seasoned with salt, citric acid, and a few herbs and spices, such as pepper, dried mint, and cumin. So you see, the daqa and the lollipop were our favorite snacks as kids, because, between the two of them, they combined sweet, salty, and sour flavors.
