Hummus is a delicious chick pea dip :)

Hummus is chick pea paste and I love to eat it with pita bread, whole olives and tomatoes sprinkled with paprika. It comprises chick peas, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil and sesame paste (tahina) and water. you can vary the quantities according to your taste. In Arabia, it is often eaten for breakfast. Enjoy! {:-)

Hummus, and it's very tasty.

Hummus is a food, made out of chick-peas. Humus, is soil. Hopefully, you wont confuse the two!

It's usually hummus. I've seen it spelled houmous, but Wikipedia gives other alternative spellings including hommos, hommus, humous, and yes, humus. Since the latter is a homonym for decayed vegetative matter, I prefer some other spelling.

Unless you have a warped sense of humus.

Both are acceptable spellings actually.. along with several other acceptable spellings.

hummus! OMG i love that stuff actually me and my mother made some the other day. Try it with Peta or Flat bread.


you might not want to eat humus.... unless you like dirt! lmoa

hummus is delish! i love it, its chick peas with tahini and garlic and lemon juice. its terrific on pita!

Speaking of hummus, Trader joe's has a delicious sun dried tomato flavor, a japaneo cilantro flavor, and they have hummus made from white beans with olive oil and different spices on top. Mmm!

Hummus....mmmmm.

Personally I don't eat dirt. So it is hummus/houmous for me.
