Bobbi’s Hummus

You thought vampires were creatures of myth.

Until your couch-surfing friend arrived and displayed some convincing symptoms (nocturnal habits, insidious lurking, a tendency to leech).

Scare the bloodsucker away with Bobbi’s Hummus. With enough garlic to ward off a whole band of vampires, it just may do the trick. And if it doesn’t work on your roommate, at least it’ll be a tasty treat for you.

Started locally twenty years ago by Bobbi herself, the business is now in the hands of her son and his crew who whip up batches of the creamy hummus. And with a huge selection of flavors, including red pepper, black bean, and jalapeno, you’ll surely want to bring home a few containers.

Plus, after you indulge, a few garlicky breaths in your unwanted visitor’s direction could be just the thing to send him packing.

Even if he’s not a vampire.

Available at Max’s Produce, 255 So. 20th Street (215-735-3644).
