Spelling and Pronunciation[edit]

Why is the Hebrew spelling not included with the Arabic spelling? It is an Israeli food as well.

"חומוס" Mikhaelnachman (talk) 02:26, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am not against this proposal, but maybe it is not included because it's etymologically an Arabic word...? --Vanlister (talk) 11:13, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I would support adding the Hebrew in addition to the Arabic, because the dish is a staple in Israel (even outside the Arab Palestinian community) and the Modern Hebrew word for chickpea is חומוס (ḥumus).newmila (talk) 23:52, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's eaten across the entire world, that isnt a reason to include an unrelated language. nableezy - 00:07, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Its an arabic word, the name has no connection to hebrew. Doesn't belong in the article. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 10:43, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

adding bible quote[edit]

Some scholars have found some allusions to hummus in the bible. I wonder if it is relevant to mention it in the article? What do you think?--Vanlister (talk) 11:11, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, absolutely! Here's a complete list of all the foods mentioned in the Bible; let's mention all of those Biblical mentions in their respective articles:

But why stop at foods? Let's go through all the words and phrases in the Bible, and for each word or phrase that has a Wikipedia entry, let's include the Bible reference in the article.
Then, when were done doing that for the Bible, we can do it for all the other religious texts too:

Hummus is not served warm.[edit]

It is served room temp or cold. Check the sources. M hesham7 (talk) 20:26, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently it's a thing. Arp242 (talk) 16:25, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Im sure mustard ice cream is a thing but its not the primary way to do it. M hesham7 (talk) 12:49, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It being a thing doesn't warrant it being referred to as "often served as a warm dish", since it's an edge case. I agree with modifying this part. Laslas19 (talk) 10:51, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The oldest evidence of Hummus[edit]

A new study found that Syria is the most likely place for the origin of humus


“the earliest mention in the fascinating world of medieval Middle Eastern cookbooks of hummus is a 13th-century work attributed to the Aleppo historian Ibn al-Adeem (but that may alternatively have been written by an Ayyubid prince).

The strongest evidence now points to Syria as the origin of hummus.

This discovery was part of a fascinating essaywritten by Mahmoud Habboush, a Palestinian author and journalist (and food aficionado) based in the U.K. The essay was published in the first print edition of New Lines earlier this year — its imagery is just as succulent as the text and the recipes that came with it. “

Hummas is not an isreali dish. Hummas was invented in Syria — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.26.215.195 (talk) 00:44, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hommus spelling most common in Australia[edit]

Perhaps there should be a sentence similar to the one about Houmous being most common in Britain based on how supermarkets sell it, but about Australia. Woolworths, Coles, and Aldi are our most popular supermarkets and nearly all the brands they sell spell it Hommus. From my experience, Hommus seems the most popular spelling in Australia - recipes, restaurants etc favour that one. 118.208.139.96 (talk) 08:04, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
