Interesting article! I don't think the awareness of Hummus in the nordic countries has to do with immigration. Most middle eastern immigrants come from Iraq, and hummus is not a wide spread dish there. I would say that Hummus is spreading thanks to maxos food! The first company starting to produce fresh hummus, emancipating the nordic people from canned hummus from mainly lebanon and syria. Dear Hummus 101!

When I see the word "humus", I first think of soil enriched by the decomposition (by microorganisms) of plant material. As crucial as humus is for agriculture, that spelling does not conjure up an appetizing image. I don't know where Mehak lives, but if he is anywhere near North Brunswick, NJ, there is an amazing Lebanese restaurant, Headquarters, with excelllent hummus. Your roving reporters, Deb and Tal, have sampled it and found it more than acceptable. Shooky, in thinking about the English spelling of “hummus”, I would choose the “double m”.

I find it amazing that there are several lebanese restaurants in the area who make wonderful hummus. Everyone's tastes a little different, but all of them taste just perfect. I'm still working on decent. Very soon, please. I find it amazing that there are several lebanese restaurants in the area who make wonderful hummus.

I guess the zen of making hummus - as any kind of zen - is about doing the same thing over and over, with no intent but doing it right. Yet, I think there's a place for a post with a few tips for better hummus. Soon. @Mehak – I’ve been making hummus for years and only recently I’ve become really pleased with it.

In truth, it's due to the large Lebanese community. - but whatever the reason - it's great stuff and I'm happy I can get some! :) Would you be surprised to know that you can get some great hummus in Ghana, West Africa???

In truth, it’s due to the large Lebanese community. – but whatever the reason – it’s great stuff and I’m happy I can get some! :)

To me, hummus is like wine. My mother gets angry at me when I say "the hummus wasn't good" to almost every single Middle Eastern restaurant I drag her to. I have found a few places that make hummus I can tolerate and even fewer that make hummus I would WANT to eat. Let's not even mention the store bought stuff (although if I'm dying for hummus I might buy a jar). Because good hummus seems to be so rare in the U.S. (good everything seems to be so rare here), I think it's imperative to my very existence that I learn to make this godly dip myself. Still, no matter how much I try, it never comes out right. There's always something...wrong. I even tried your recipe and, still, nothing. I think there's an art to making hummus (much like wine). How do you master the "zen of hummus-making"? This is my question for you. Surely, someone as knowledgeable about the topic of hummus knows of what I speak. Oh, and shooky, lack of proficiency in ALL language demonstrates stupidity but lack of proficiency in ENGLISH probably indicates intelligence as English is one of the most perverted languages in existence.
