Baba Ghanoush Or Hummu

Baba ghanoush and hummus are savory Middle Eastern dips; baba ghanoush is primarily made from eggplant, while hummus is primarily made from chickpeas and tahini. Since this entry is ambiguous and imported as Legumes, that category is reasonable only for hummus, not baba ghanoush.
