cackleberry Mar 2024 2:29pm, 8 Mar 2024 3,601 posts	0 cackleberry oh. Hm. Not sure I'd like that. But, I never used to like peanut butter and now I happily eat it. I had some of that Greek 'cake' make from tahini paste and it was like eating oily sawdust. Awful.
Velociraptor Mar 2024 2:40pm, 8 Mar 2024 68,068 posts	0 Velociraptor Yes, tahini's a bit like wet halva Useful if you're going to make your own hummus. I don't mind halva despite the fact that the first time I was offered some, when visiting a self-consciously cosmopolitan household as a student (probably due to being a member of the World Development Group), I was told it was "a sort of chocolate". False pretences, much?
cackleberry Mar 2024 2:44pm, 8 Mar 2024 3,602 posts	0 cackleberry Halva! That's the stuff. Yes, this was meant to be chocolaty. It was not. I have no plans to make my own hummus, might give that a swerve for now. Thanks, as you all were.

Jenelopy Mar 2024 2:58am, 9 Mar 2024 956 posts	0 Jenelopy According to a one of the Zoe Science and Nutrition podcasts, most people can't utilise more than 20g protein per meal. I've not looked at the publications behind that, but sallykate maybe worth a listen before you spend a lot of effort trying to cram in more protein?
Jenelopy Mar 2024 2:59am, 9 Mar 2024 957 posts	0 Jenelopy Tahini and marmite on crackers is very good. We tried a tahini and miso stir fry sauce and felt we needed to tweak the ingredients a bit, or save the tahini for other things.
