What if y/n from have you eaten? Au had eating disorders?

oou! good question!

yes! that is definitely a scenario i would like to explore in the fic when i get to it. also why i want to write the fic with multiple different Y/Ns so we can explore different experiences and relationships with food

there is a "main Y/N" who is a glutton who likes to try anything and everything. i haven't done the research for it so i can't say whether or not they have an eating disorder, but they DO have an unhealthy relationship with food as a result of being shamed for their appetite. so that, coupled with their job that emphasizes appearances and first impressions, they eat smaller meals, seemingly healthier meals, safe meals. but when they're alone at the restaurant with the DCA boys, without having to worry about who sees them or how much they eat, they're able to enjoy their food openly and honour their body's cravings.

International Hummus Day

Seeing as May 13 is International Hummus Day we have no choice but to celebrate the intoxicatingly delicious concoction of garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, and garlic – otherwise known as hummus. From whipping up a batch of your own custom-flavored red pepper hummus to spreading some store-bought dessert hummus on a cookie, there are endless ways to celebrate. We hear that there’s even some magical thing called a hummus festival – we’re not missing that! Hummus has been around for centuries and remains one of the most versatile and healthy staples in many diets. Today, we celebrate hummus for all that provides our diet and culture, as well as how we can all agree – it’s nature’s perfect food.

History of International Hummus Day

The origin of hummus is cloudy and hotly contested. Though we know it originated in the Middle East, many regions around the Eastern crescent of the Mediterranean claim to be the one true originator of the delectable spread. The first real mention of hummus in a cookbook was found in 13th century Cairo, where it appears as merely a cold chickpea puree, and notably lacks lemon juice and garlic – including instead pickled lemons with oil, herbs, and spices. It still sounds pretty good to us.

Hummus remained a huge staple in the diet of many living in the Middle East, where chickpeas flourish. In fact, the word “hummus” is rooted in the Arabic word for “chickpea”! Though there is some debate over whether or not the Greeks also invented hummus, most believe that it spread between Greek and Middle Eastern traders, along with popular delicacies like baklava and stuffed grape leaves. It’s known for this reason as one of the greatest crossover foods.

It’s also the national dish for many countries in the Middle East. It’s a cultural phenomenon as much as a culinary one, and nations stick up for their claim to hummus. For example, in 2008 Lebanon tried to sue Israel for “stealing” hummus! After that, the two strove to set the record for the largest plate of hummus. For all its long-lasting popularity in the Middle East and Southern Europe, it may surprise you to learn that the first British grocery store to stock hummus only did so in 1980. Unsurprisingly, however, it quickly became a great hit in the UK, largely for its health benefits.

Hummus definitely had a fashionably late arrival to the U.S. While 20 years ago, most Americans probably couldn’t even pronounce the name of the dish, and annual sales barely topped $5 million, today it is found in most grocery stores and considered a staple in many American households. While in the Middle East, hummus is increasingly considered a somewhat routine and middle-class meal, Americans are falling for the brownish spread – hard. It’s estimated that more than a quarter of U.S. households have hummus in the fridge right this second.

The first International Hummus Day was in 2012 and our taste buds have been celebrating ever since.

International Hummus Day Activities

Make your own hummus!

Try out a new hummus flavor

Attend a hummus festival

The key to being a forever favorite seems to be simplicity - hummus is based on just chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, and garlic. There are many fabulous hummus recipes online, but as long as you have a food processor and the key four ingredients, you’ll be successful in making the staple! Once you’ve got that down, try adding some flavors for your own custom hummus.

What do roasted red peppers, jalapeno, avocado, black olives, and chocolate have in common? They’re all fantastic hummus flavors! If your store doesn’t carry the flavor that you’re craving, pick up some plain hummus anyway and spice it up to your heart’s desire - the possibilities are endless!

You heard us right - hummus festivals are real! Check out the hashtag #hummusday or the account @hummusday on Instagram to see what events are happening near you.

5 Surprising Facts About Hummus

Happy heart, healthy heart

The same in every country

It’s an aphrodisiac

One lean cuppa

The first food

Hummus, which contains Omega-3 fatty acids, is known to maintain both heart health and a good mood!

Though the spread has gone global and the recipe has been tweaked slightly, the four key ingredients always persist: chickpeas, sesame paste, lemon juice, and garlic.

Made from protein- and vitamin-rich chickpeas (the “Queen of Aphrodisiacs,” as they are sometimes called), hummus has been known to aid in sexual functions and boost physical energy.

In just one cup of chickpeas, the basic ingredient of hummus, there are 200 calories and only one gram of fat.

In some folklore, hummus is touted as one of the oldest-ever prepared foods.

Why We Love International Hummus Day

Hummus unites people

It’s chock-full of vitamins

The possibilities are endless

Though many different regions around the world lay claim to the development of hummus, at least we can all agree that this versatile and healthy spread is nature’s perfect food. It’s been adopted across the globe with shockingly minimal changes to either the recipe or the name - we clearly all love it for exactly what it is.

Hummus is basically… a multivitamin. It’s bursting with fiber, protein, potassium, B6, folate, and Vitamin C. Not to mention, it can lower your cholesterol, nip hunger, and excess snacking in the bud, and potentially even contribute to a lower risk of some cancers!

What doesn’t hummus go on? Besides being a great chip and vegetable dip alternative to fattier dips like ranch, hummus can be used on sandwiches, salads, and so much more. These days, it can be endlessly favored as well, from spicy to savory to even dessert. The jury is out on that one for us but at least it’s healthier than ice cream.

one time when i was in o'hare i wanted to go outside and i walked into an elevator which was architecturally indistinguishable from a doorway which then trapped me inside and automatically took me to the garage level and wouldn't let me leave

meanwhile i once spent 6 hours at denver international and my biggest gripe was that i didn't want to ride the internal train to go to a different terminal and get starbucks so i ended up at a different coffee shop instead
