no thanks.

if i eat pistachios i like them as chunks of the nuts
and not as some paste. i either eat them out of the
shell or in ice-cream (rarely these days until summer)
or (almost never recently) pudding.

Chickpea dip would be a better name.

No. I usually call it toast with extra-virgin olive oil
and coarse salt.

I usually call it aglio e olio.

There are no references to bi tahini in any of the references if found
but every popular recipe link I use had some just called hummus but
used a variation on other than parts added to the chickpeas.

Don't bother to hunt one down that adds bi tahini to it. Common use is
all on my side. 'may contain tahini; is accurate.

Well, that's that. You looked at a statistically significant sampling
of references (more than 1000) and none of them had "bi tahini" in
them.

Were these references all in English, perhaps? Were they making any
accommodation for English speakers too lazy to learn what things
are called?

Common use in the United States, perhaps. Enjoy your shrimp scampi.

Shit, I've probably killfiled her and let her out again more than
she's killfiled me.

Why should I care what she does? She's like the neighbor's yappy
little dogs.

Such as you using macaroni with tomato sauce and calling it "lasagna"?

Once Mrs. Shinklehooper's invalid hubby dies, Bruce could become her new
ass servicer. Now that the Bel-Nor perv is incommunicado, the worthless
Dutch Aussie is her best hope.
