Are there any types of cuisine you dont like?

Picture Related: I cannot stomach Middle Eastern cuisine. It's so bland and bitter, And it uses spiciness to mask it's mediocrity. Even in the best of restaurants the food is barely palpable. I dont like doner kebab, or middle eastern desserts either; too dry and too sweet. I hate the taste of hummus and lentils and most legumes from the region. I know there are historical reasons for peoples eating them. But with modern agricultural selection, there's no need to. I do enjoy shakshuka from time to time. And I do like Mediterranean food. It's better, but it's not the same thing as middle eastern cuisine.

Also I dont really like chinese food. Not talking about that greasy shit served in takeaways. But real chinese food that actual chinese people eat. It's all so mediocre. They dont let the ingredients do the work. They just pile them on for the sake of having them in the dish. The ingredients dont play well with each other, they mostly cancel each other out.

Today is International Hummus Day. I trust you will all be enjoying some hummus on this fine day.

What does hummus taste like? Is it salty, sweet etc?

Can I make hummus with a potato masher? I don't really want/need a food processor so I can't make myself buy one but I generally don't like store bought hummus.

I fucking love hummus. Sometimes.

How do you like your hummus?
