Hummus Ice Cream: Delicious or Disgusting?

What happens when you take two amazing, creamy foodstuffs and combine them into a single product? That's what the owner of an ice cream shop in Jaffa, Israel, asked himself before he created hummus-flavored ice cream. Hummus is a Middle Eastern chickpea spread that actually has the same consistency as ice cream, but the olive oil and garlic overtones make it an odd choice for an ice cream flavor.

La Genda owner Michael Mina told an Israeli television station, "I am a hummus freak. I always thought that one day we should make ice cream out of hummus, and after many experiments, we checked the right temperature, the right kind of grains, and achieved the perfect product." Boris Schwartz, who actually makes the ice cream, said, "It is a little strange, not for everyone, it's for people who like special things." They've also tried garlic ice cream, and are working on an avocado flavor. Think you could stomach hummus ice cream?
