This week, we're bringing you a special show all about hummus, a tasty spread made from ground chickpeas. Believe it or not, this dish is charged with cultural significance, with many debates in the Middle East over who invented it. We're joined by Dan Alexander, a Franco-Israeli chief editor and designer, who's just published "On the Hummus Route". He tells us more about this unusual source of tension, but also of sharing in the region.

to be fair, what DOESN’T cause tension in the middle east
It's sad that we argue over who created Hummus without realizing that almost every ethnicity in the middle-east including both Jews and Arabs have contributed in their own ways to make the dish into what it is today.
Regards from Jordan!
@@RBlindWarlockR Yeah you are right, it's meant to be sensationalist, entertaining and divisive on purpose, unfortunately.
Media is making humanity sick.
Separated by ethnicity united by hummus
Glad to share the magic of hummus with the entire world. Same as the Italians share pizza and pasta. The problem is akin to someone from let's say for example Cambodia claiming that the pizza is theirs. Hummus is part of our cultural identity. The identity of the Levant. Syria, Palestine, Jordan and Lebanon is the same history and culture. Israel on the other hand is an artificial construct. They are European and have neither history nor cultural claim in our region. To us, it is like waking up in a nightmare and finding you have a stranger sharing your bed with you and claiming he or she has the right to wedge themselves in your life and claim your food as theirs. Hummus is not controversial nor political. Just get the hell out of our bed and we will be glad to invite you for dinner and you can have all the hummus you want.
The jews are natives of the middle east, they are direct decedent's of Abraham, to say they are of European decent is a pure lie.
@@anon457 that was 2000 years ago, since the roman expulsion of jews, everything changed. Look at their DNA its literally european. Im not saying they're not jews, they are, just from different parts of the world. There are native jews in the levant, doesnt mean you kick someone just because you want their land or property.
What an informative, entertaining and well crafted video. Thank you.
As a vegan, hummus and pine nuts make the best sauce/topping on Earth. With the right recipe, it can actually replace cheese! The only close competitors are proper Guacamole and Salsa.
please stop with the vegan shit i beg u
@@crazydiamond3403 you know what, it's not going to stop. ever. the future is vegan. you get with the times.
I worked for a couple of years in the Middle East but was a fan of hummus way before that. By now though, like sushi and pizza, hummus is a globalized dish.
Hummus is either lebanese syrian or palestinian doesn't matter what matters is that we all love it
Watching this while eating spicy hummus (the reason why I searched for a vid like this). I work in a production factory that specializes in hummus and we have all sorts of hummus and I often get to take lots of hummus with me. For now my favorite would be sunseed hummus and after that olive hummus flavored with basil.
Thank you Dan for the interesting and balanced presentation. I hope to meet you one day...if you are ever in Sweden...let me know :)
Im Jamaican. First saw humus on the net. I made it and ive loved it since. Eating it right now as i watch
Such a great interview! And very intresting facts about Hummus. A wonderful nutritious dish! I would like to buy it. How and where can I
purchase it?
store
As a non-Arab American I found this story very well presented and absolutely absorbing. Here in the western USA, the only hummus readily available is the Sabra brand and I will bet true connoisseurs would balk at its authenticity. Dan Alexander was really quite charming. Thanks to all involved for posting.
there are other brands available. i am eating a different brand now. way better than sabra. it just depends what kind of grocery store you go to. if you go yo a general big box grocery store you probably won’t have a massive selection
While hummus is great and popular, many people in America have never tried it.
What ??? Israel 😂😂😂
I got gas now.
Life without Hummus is NO life 😋😚
1:54 7 countries claim hummus origin
I have tried this food and It was really delicious
Where is Fatteh?😑I am hungry now!
😂
I only know non authentic hummus :(
chikpeas origin is Anatolia
Hummus is 100% Lebanese!!
No dummy it’s Egyptian or Palestinian idk but it isn’t Lebanese it wasn’t originated there but theres there own recipe there there is Lebanese humus
Hummus or not , I'm hungry now??
Persians invented hummus. There no more conflict.
Hummus originated in Egypt.
Hummus came from the mongols
Hummus is Lebanese. All research proves that.
There's no such a thing as Lebanon 100 years ago, it was called greater Syria, Lebanon is just a tiny part of Syria
Definitely wasn't Israeli's
@@RBlindWarlockR you'd be surprised, not all of them but there are alot that claim Arab culture to be theirs when almost all of them are euro convert Jews not even ethnically, even Israel's national dish is falafel 🤦 what more do I need to say
@@jxbuyo what a load of crap. There are plenty of Middle Eastern Isrealis who have as much right to claim hummus as anybody else. Also, who cares? The problem with this area is that they argue about their differences instead of realizing how much they are alike. Food is a bridge, not a bomb!
So Gaza has mexicanised their hummus 🇲🇽 🌮🌮🌮
Gazans would eat hot chilli for breakfast, I had some friends back during university years, seriously :)
I had some Palestinian hummus once. It was so spicy that it was like strapping a bomb to my belly.
Hummus is from Israel 🇮🇱
🤣🤣🤣
