Sesame oil in hummus? I make my own hummus (which is easy) and use olive oil

Traditionally hummus is chickpeas, tahini, lemon and garlic. And the modern stuff has rapeseed oil instead of the tahini. (To the point that even before I decided that PUFAs might be bad I preferred the taste of the low-fat stuff because it's not rank with 'vegetable' oil)

What's it like with olive oil instead of tahini? I might try making coconut-oil hummus! Or maybe mashing chickpeas with butter and salt and lemon and garlic (gosh that sounds nice now I think about it).

Oh yes! I find Brad to be a bit too prone to conspiracy-izing and cherry-picking studies for my tastes, but I love him for his biochemistry and his theorizing and digging up relevant stuff. He's doing great work.
