I hate hummus

Phew, there, I'm glad that's out in the open. I hate hummus, of all flavors. I think it's a little bitter, and kinda grainy, and the mouthfeel is what I can imagine quicksand would feel like on my tongue.

That's my confession for today. Flame on, you chick-pea lovers!

    I had some tonight. The first taste reminded me of feet but it got better. If that's even possible.

    Love the red pepper kind. Spread it on a low fat soft shell, roll it, and heat it in the microwave for 15 seconds. Love it for a fast eat running out the door! Also great in celery!

    If you don't like hummus, don't eat it. Leave it for those of us who do. (What was the point of this thread, again?)

    WHITE BEAN HUMMUS!

    The texture is creamy, not grainy at all. It's very smooth and has a great flavor (the garlic one is great)

    Hummus that doesn't have enough tahini, which is also a cheaper version because more nuts = more cost, is yucky. When the tahini is flowing, its good. The only mainstream store brand I know that comes close is Sabra. Athenos and other brands are funky in comparison and definitely got the chickpea thing on overdrive.

    Homemade Hummus is not sour like store bought hummus. If they use too much citric acid it will taste bad. Sabras is the best store bought but when it's so easy to make just do it at home and play with flavors. Takes me 2 minutes to make a roasted red pepper hummus in my vitamix.

    don't eat it then........... although what I would say, is if you've never tried hummus made by Arabs, then you have not had the chance to try hummus at its very best. My own attempts at making hummus are really not too bad, but pale in comparison to what you get at a decent Lebanese restaurant, or even better, if you eat home cooked food at an Arab family home...

    My whole family (including 3 kids who have eaten hummus since they were babies) LOVE it. I make my own, but if no time I will buy Sabra with Pine Nuts

    If you don't like it don't eat it. I don't like mushrooms so I don't eat them. End of story.

    So don't eat it.


    You'd think you were forced to do so.

    My mom makes the best! Yummy! You need the right amount of tahini and make sure it gets blended/food processed enough to a smooth texture. Grainy hummus is not hummus. hehe Of course if you're buying it, it's much hard to control those factors.

    i love it. i usually make my own. the store bought stuff does not even come close to tasting like real hummus (it's not bad, and there are some brands that are tasty but i wouldn't compare it to real hummus).
