Houmous-aholics Anonymous

I think it is now quite obvious that Edinburgh is in love with houmous. Been on it for 3 years now and need one tub a day to be satisfied and feel like the day is complete. How many packages of houmous does an average shop sell every day? I wonder. If only it was possible to develop the perfect recipe and open a specialist houmous shop? Oh, the profit!
 I am also completely convinced that they put some sort of addictive substance in their kind, because anywhere else I’ve tried houmous it just ain't the same! Anyone know of a place that has amazingly delicious houmous?! Please comment.
Also, as much as I would like the other kinds of houmous, like caramelized onion or red pepper, I just don’t believe they can beat the original one.
For example, has anyone tried the co-operative houmous with pesto?!
BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. Their pesto tastes like chemicals, almost brought tears to my eyes. So much potential totally wasted.

Here are some of the best ways to have houmous:
Toast with ham
In a toasted pita bread
In a toasted pita bread with any sort of salad, some veggies and salami

With any sort of crisps (personal favourite would probably be sensations thai sweet chilli)
Crackers
Bread sticks
Just licking it off your finger does it for me as well

What’s your favourite?
