Do you like Hummus?

[Mysterian]

Any hummus fans out there? I sure am.

Hummus is said to have originated from Egypt, awhile back. I don't know what's more astounding: The Pyramids of Giza, or hummus.
(Spoiler alert: The answer is hummus.)

The holidays are here, so why not include some hummus in your snack/meal-based gatherings?

My usual go-to is Sabra Classic. However, I'm not adverse to trying the flavored varieties. The Garlic one intrigues me.

No. Marie does though.

I love it, but like so many other delicacies, I'm the only one in the the house that likes it. Of course this requires great sacrifice for me to have to scarf it down

I made some hummus but it was messy and not that much better than the store-bought version.

I didn't use to when I was younger but like a few other food items I found a liking for it later on. I prefer garlic or pine nuts the most, cilantro isn't bad either. My husband prefers roasted red pepper the most.

Made as in from scratch? Starting with chickpeas and all?
I commend your attempts. Me, I don't even know how they mash the chickpeas into mush.

I've honestly thought about making some but now I know...probably more hassle than worth!

Maybe what you tried wasn't actually hummus!

Love it but tend to overdo it so too many calories!

I like to make it from scratch. Throw it all in the food processor and voila. Plus you can make it to taste.

Everyone in my family loves it!
Garlic is my favourite.

I like it. I even like chocolate hummus, which is a thing.

I like it but only buy it when the kids are visiting or we are hosting a gathering, so there are more people around to eat it. Plain or roasted red pepper are my 2 faves.

 

[E&Cmom]

Yes

Yep, but it's been years and I don't even remember what I had to do, I just remember the mess and the leftover tahini oil gathering dust in the fridge until I threw it out.

No. It’s not just a taste thing for me, but a texture thing as well. I have tried everything from mass produced to homemade, and it’s just not for me.

Sounds like a good thing!

Oh it is! You can dip fruit in it or even like graham crackers. It's around, but not as common as the savory stuff.

I love it and always have it on hand. I usually buy the roasted red pepper or garlic. I like to eat it with ripped up pita bread, just dragged through it. A girl I used to work with always ate it that way (as her meal) and shared, so it stuck!

When I first started my hospital career way back in the 80s, there was a Middle Eastern truck across the street that was open all night, so I used to love to get the shish-ke-bob and falafel, tahini, etc., sometimes at 3am
