[@britishsecondarylife7548]

lol

[@elma_gnt]

I laughed so much at "our baby hummus" 😂

[@catpalmer2093]

The hosts are probably too young to remember, but before tahini was widely available in the UK many recipes said to use peanut butter instead, which I'm guessing is where Nigella's recipe comes from. (Showing my age a bit there, I suspect!)

[@quixotiq]

Gross!

[@calivibes_84]

When was that?

[@catpalmer2093]

@@calivibes_84 Early to mid 1990s, maybe? Tahini was probably available in big supermarkets, and in 'ethnic' stores, but definitely not in shops in provincial towns like the one I grew up in.

[@bodyofhope]

I was just going to say- I bet they loved Nigella's bc the peanut butter takes the place of tahini.... and that's all a good hummus requires: chick peas, tahini, and a little seasoning.

[@lamias5470]

the huge hummus smear and the fact that they were eating it with celery made me cringe

[@neurogal]

Lol.. just as some "pizzas" need to just be called flatbreads.. These can all be "chickpea dips"!

[@leen8770]

The last dish is actually similar to another dip we make but we don't call it hummus

[@bellaa6859]

None of these can be considered hummus, greetings form a syrian. Also hummus is vegan and should not have yogurt in it...

[@lodz8666]

in palestine they put minched meat in the hummus

[@bodyofhope]

My heart was breaking that the tahini was missing 💔😱🥺

[@FNA27601]

First one is alright apart from the maple sauce which had me puzzled and disgusted. We put meat on hummus

[@SalmaAyaanTryToDance]

Gordon's recipe makes me think of something Phyllis would serve at her Moroccan Christmas in that episode of the office. But seriously these chefs need to realize the best hummus is SIMPLE HUMMUS.

[@spitfire3984]

Exactly. They are trying to fix something that isn’t broken. Classic, simple hummus is the best.

[@bodyofhope]

Hummus WITH TAHINI! Not peanut butter. Every single one failed the tahini test 😑

[@mattmatti3525]

Buzzfeed as a brand has a bad name. But this video was really well made. Probs to whoever edited the video and took the shots. The cook also did an amazing job aswell. 👏

[@dathurd7261]

Yes original hummus is the best, but fusions like this are creative and make cooking/eating exciting. Purists should live a little...🙄

[@ramanader1691]

WHAT IN THE TAHINI ARE THESE?? Don’t even dare calling these concoctions hummus, the beauty of hummus is its simplicity.. chickpeas, TAHINI (the amount actually contributes to the consistency of the hummus (being smooth, as smooth as mayonnaise(bad example I know but it should be this smooth ))) a bit of salt, one or two cloves of garlic and a bit of lemon juice!!!! That’s it!!! Do not complicate it!!! Oh you can deffo complicate toppings, like I think the first hummus’ topping would actually taste great with the SIMPLE hummus. The most famous hummus topping though is shawarma or mince lamb. There you have it. This is how hummus is made 🤦🏻‍♀️edit: plz do not add olive oil while mixing the hummus, you just add it at the end as garnish 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

None of these look very good, they’re all so stodgy and grainy. Hummus should be smooth and creamy, which can only be done if you THOROUGHLY cook your chickpeas before blending. Stop throwing in all these weird extra ingredients when you can’t even get the basics right.

[@shinysparkilylights]

None, hummus is gross 🤮 ... I want to like it, but I just can’t ... the taste of chick peas, peas, green beans/etc type vegetables taste like dirt to me... except kidney beans, pinto beans, and black beans (i have used black beans to make “hummus” tho & that’s good)

[@qytj1182]

Chileee u just havent had the good kind x

[@nmtumbleweed5320]

So sad for you😢

[@MaryAX]

Have you tried adding more lemon? Hummus with a bad ratio of tahini - beans - to acid can taste grody. If you want better flavor amp down the tahini a tiny bit and amp up the lemon and garlic. Try it! Beans, especially chickpeas, are rather neutral tasting, it's what you add to them that changes the flavor.
