The Media Discover Hummus

coutesy Paul Goyette

I’m tempted to be snotty, to say “News Flash! Hummus is popular!” Which would be acceptable, given the headline here (Hummus Catches On in America.) But if you read a bit further, this NYT story by John T. Edge, a savvy chronicler of American tastes and traditions, actually discusses the evolution of the Middle Eastern staple and how it’s had to adapt to American palates. Worth a read. I’m also looking forward to next week’s food section headliner: Pizza, a new American trend (sorry, I couldn’t resist).
