Hummus is apparently a big deal in America. When we left two years ago you would see if around some but I've seen it more in the few days that we've been back that I ever had before we left. It really hit me when we got served Forty Spices hummus on an American Airlines flight from Boston to DFW.
We eat hummus all of the time. Jeff and I have a joke that there is a 100% probability that hummus will be served at every meal we attend on campus (he does teach business statistics after all). However, our hummus is the plain kind - no red pepper, no garden herb, no forty spices or sun dried tomatoes or what ever else you guys have in it. We might, very rarely, have garlic in it. And we eat it with bread and only bread, what American's would call "pita" bread. No veggies and not smeared on a sandwich like mayo or mustard. I guess in our own snobbish way, we are hummus purists. After all, it originates from the Levant and hummus is a transliteration of حمّص.
