    Curious about this myself. I love Gyros but that is really the only Greek food that I have tried.

    It depends on what flavor of hummus you buy. Its delicious, just buy some.

    It tastes like chickpeas, olive oil, tahini and most likely garlic.

    Delicious. Trader joes is the best. Sabras is ok too.

    There are a couple different flavors available of it. When I tried it out for the first time I went with the garlic hummus because I know I love garlic, so surely anything that was powerfully garlic wouldn't be too out of my taste. I love hummus, though I don't buy it as much as I would like because I am the only one who eats it in the house!

    I like it with roasted pita chips, veggie sticks, or on turkey sandwiches instead of mayo.

    I read that as human LOL

    um if you want to try it get a flavored one. I like the spinach and artichoke. I don't like the plain one.

    I honestly didn't think I'd like it, because I'm not a fan of chickpeas... But I enjoy it's lot!

    It's a whole lotta delish! I eat it with veggies or pita. I also like to use it for burritos (opposed to using refried beans or black/pinto beans).

    Tribe(brand) roasted garlic hummus is where it's at! I love dipping carrots and celery in it. Relatively low fat, high protein and fiber per serving! Yum yum!

    My husband loves it. I personally think it's gross. It makes me gag. Sadly i'm not joking either.

    I like it but only if it is strongly flavored (garlic and roasted pepper are my favs). The consistency did take some getting used to.To me it's like slightly grainy peanut butter. I use it as a dip to force down my veggies! :glasses:

    Tastes yummy! :love: Although, not all of them taste alike. Right not I am eating the Fresh & Easy Classic hummus and I LOVE it, before I was eating the Sabra Classic but that one was thicker and din't have as much taste.

    it's real easy to make; I leave out the tahini paste to make it a bit healthier; you can play with the taste by controlling how much garlic & lemon juice you put in,
    delicious

    I LOVE hummus, it tastes like...hummus.

    I don't like store bought crap however, I make my own or ill get it from a restaurant who makes their own. I find the store bought stuff usually has a lot if lemon in it which gives it a weird zing.

    heaven in a bowl

    tastes a lot like chick peas with garlic, optional other flavors

    if you don't like chicken peas or don't have them
    you can make the same recipe with white beans

    Ditto here - my husband and I both gag with it. Texture, flavor... IMO it has nothing going for it.

    Pure freaking deliciousness!!!! I tried it for the first time just today and O.M.G!!!! I bought the Sabra roasted garlic and snacked on it with Stacy's Parmesan garlic and herb pita chips. Yummy! I made a post on Instagram earlier too. You should try it!
