I ordered a very carby meal at a tavern today. It was hummus with pita bread. The hummus was topped with ground Calamata olives and roasted red peppers. I asked to substitute fresh red pepper pieces for the pita but they said they did not have any fresh peppers---which made me wonder how they could have roasted peppers.
Well, I usually do pretty well with hummus. It is pretty low on the glycemic index. I thought I could just ignore the pita, but I should have told them just not to bring it. I ate half more than half the pita and all the large serving of hummus.
My BG was not good. Lunch was six hours ago and BG is 126. (Didn't test until now.)
Pita is not my friend. And hummus should only be a friendly acquaintance!
