Cookbook talk:Hummus (Greek)

i tought that this was a Turkish food?!

No, It's not Turkish (I own a Turkish restaurant), but it's definately NOT Greek. It is Middle Eastern, and the name Humus (Homous, Hommos etc etc) is Arabic. Most probably it's from the region around Lebanon. --Alper 14:32, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

It is a common missconception that Hummus is a Greek recipe. I see this frequently in UK supermarkets. It's deffinetly middle-eastern.

I have seen MANY varients from all over. ie from palistine/israel they add some parsley to it and like lebanon they add a little more garlic.
