Is the white bean hummus they have at Trader Joe's not really hummus? I love hummus; I must know what I'm missing!

 

[Chromatose]

I thought the most important part of the hummus was the garbanzos?! If you replace that with white beans it's poser hummus!

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

chickpeas, you silly fucks!

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

ah i see garbanzo bean = chickpea. yes thats right.

Hummus is so named from the Arabic word for chickpeas. Any similar dish made of other legumes can't properly be called hummus.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Amen brother.

 

[Lord Foul]

BUT, there are lots of different styles of hummus made in different regions of the middle east and mediterranean. I once ate hummus at a Jordanian restaurant that used yogurt instead of tahini and was served hot.

You are correct. and it is Chickpeas... another important element of hummus is the tahini sauce: if you don't have that in your hummus, don't even claim it's hummus...
And yeah, Lord Foul: there are many ways and styles of hummus, but at the end: the best ones are the Lebanese, Syrian, and Israeli.
Sometimes in israel I eat it hot too, in a dish that is called: MASBACHA depends on my mood....



Oh and Max, now that you've been to that part of the world, do you pronounce hummus correctly?

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Probably not.

 

[Dead_Lioness]

Probably not.

so you still pronounce it like... huh-muss?

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Yeah, i do. but i know thats not right, i assume its more like hue- (As in huey minus the ee sound) moos. or something.

 

[Dead_Lioness]

yep, hoo-moos

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

yeah but if you say that in America, people think you're weird!

 

[Anvil]

Or that you're hearing things.

 

[I-TEND-TO-DIE]

not only in america!

 

[Lordlucid]

I say hoo-mus...

I however do not like Humus...

As for what I had for lunch. I went to the Local Taqueria and hadmyselfachicken Torta, with Two Budlight limes.

I know... I used to get those looks when I asked for Gouda Cheese and pronounced it correctly too so now I say it "Americana way"
