Hummus and Homemade Apricot "Tamarind" Date Chutney
Status: Homemade. A bit of a technical failure.
Satisfaction: 8.
Associated with: Non Sequitur
You know when you try to make one thing and end up making something entirely different? That's what happened with this "tamarind" (read: apricot + dates) chutney. I read online that a blended mixture of apricots, dates, prunes, and lemon juice would make a suitable substitute for tamarind paste, but apparently these were the same people who created the Flat Earth Society because they were dead wrong (i.e. the flat-earth believers and theorists of yore, not the people who created the site dedicated to studying said believers and theorists). It tasted more like a sweet apricot/date jam than anything else. Therefore, in honor of this momentous but still highly delicious failure, a lovely Non Sequitur comic memorializing this grossly overstated movement.
