When I have a smoke, i like a little to nibble on between draws on the hose. Mostly I prepare a pipe when I am about to smoke. In the Middle East they have an assortment of aMFetizers that can be served with a hookah or with arak. Its called Meze and it can consist of many different. Here is just one.
Hummus, you can get it in the supermarket, you can also make it. Here is my recipe

I can chick peas(garbanzos)
2 or 3 tbspns Tahini( sesame paste, you probably have to go Middle eastern store to get it)
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 clove garlic minced fine or pressed
1 tblsn olive oil
pinch of salt

Put all this in a food processor and blend til smooth. If it too thick add a bit of water.

Now, when making this for myself I add:

1/2 tspn ground cumin
1 tblsn AleMFo peMFer ( which you can get from a wonderful store called Penzey's. they also have Zaatar,which is sumac, thyme and sesame seeds which you can sprinkle on the Hummus)

Serve with Pita bread

Garnish hummus with sumac or zaatar and a little olive oil and a few pinenuts if you wanna get fancy

If it doesn't measure up to Mom's try adding a little cumin, or a little sumac, I prefer cumin in mine and find alot of store bought too bland.
Good Luck
