What Is "Hummus?"

At least one fast food outlet in Denver is pushing something called “Hummus,” which is an Arabian dish that has—wait for it—a name that is spelled 14 different ways—as is everything in the Arab world, I guess. Frankly, I wouldn’t eat it. Not because it’s Arabian, but simply because introducing it here is yet another factor in the “Arabianization” of America. We don’t need it. If they can’t beat us militarily, they will try to “slip in” unnoticed in many ways. Hummus is one of those ways. (Wikipedia)

I do not think Hummas will kill this country anymore than tacos or pizza. We eat foods from all around the world. Hummas has been a staple for vetegarians for decades. I love it. It does not make me condone Islam or terrorists anymore than tacos make me pleased with Mexican drug cartels and illegal alliens.

Sorry. I meant HummUs, not Hummas. I do not like Hummas.

Anon: That's fine; eat what you like. I wouldn't DREAM of trying to tell you what to eat. I make my own decisions and like for others to do so, too. My own decision is not to eat Hummus.

Anon: What is HumUs?

HumUS? I spelled it with 2 ms, or are you about to make a joke, like a knock-knock joke? I was emphasizing the letter U.
