[Anonymous No.6699380]

>>6699296
It is sort of trendy. In the sense that cute girls seem to advertise the fact that they like it along with chipotle etc. But unlike sriracha people don't put it on everything and pita pockets with hummus and salad makes a good meal. Most uses of hummus are restricted to Arab or Mediterranean fare.

But I really don't think it's cheap. It's a simple enough recipe to make at home. And costs a tenth.

The same as anything else. People are sheltered and eat mostly beef and chicken so something like hummus is the most exotic thing to them. That's why it's dominated by one company in this part of the world, and why their marketing treats it like it's the most innovative thing in existence.

[Anonymous No.6701466]

no one thinks hummus is exotic you giant neckbeards, it's just been ridiculously popular for the last like 20 years because it's savoury as fuck, creamy and has some spurious reputation for being healthy. anyone calling it trendy or exotic is a fucking retard who only just started leaving the fucking house.

I grew up eating it so it's just a normal thing for me...the same way butter or peanut butter is probably normal for you. Why so many "white" people are into it now is the same reason they're into sushi and seaweed and crap, hipsters like to think they're cultural

Also, I guess it's healthy so hippies like it too

Lol I didn't say that, all I said is that hipsters like to use mundane things like food to pretend they're "cultured" and interesting, which is true. If you like it go ahead and eat it but you can't deny there are lots of morons like that, and largely why certain things become trends. Like half my family is arabic, I grew up eating the stuff as just a normal spread for pita bread so it makes me laugh when people have like a raging hard on for the stuff like it's the best culinary invention ever.

[Anonymous No.6701525]

>>6701509

like a bajillion years ago when white people first heard about it, maybe, it had some kind of hipster cred but it's normal for us now too you bellend. some people really like it just as i bet there are people where you're from who also really like it.

I remember when Sabra wasn't owned by Pepsi, and honestly the quality of their product has gone way down.
Back then there were these really good flavors that don't exist anymore. It seemed like back in 1990-2003 nobody ate hummus. Now everyone eats it. Why?

I know some people just like it but people can't deny it's become quite the trend in the last five years or so, hell growing up I had to constantly explain what it was to people now it's very mainstream.

That being said, like anything that becomes trendy or popular it will become mass produced by larger companies and lose a bit of quality in the process, I eat sabra hummus if it's in the house but it doesn't compare to stuff from an actual arabic or mediterranean place

In my case (since Hummus wasn't common in my country at all back then) I got curious about hummus after an episode of FRIENDS when Rachel and Monica meet the doctors from ER.
Years passed before I found myself in presence of hummus, and I loved that shit.

While I'm blogging:
Same for cheesecake, it was virtually inexistant in France at the time, but I became obsessed with it after the episode when they receive cheesecake in the mail by mistake.
And to this day, I fucking love good cheesecake.

It's not always fun and games though. Such appropriation can shape people's entire view of certain cultures. I felt sort of the same way as you do with Indian food in general, considering my background, for a while, until around ten years ago or so, when the cuisine really took off among non-subcontinentals in the US. The whole "curry-eater" thing gets on your nerves and the smug way people assume your mother made you the same shitty wonderbread "naan" they ate in some bland fusion restaurant is frankly insulting. It seems that educated appropriation, the kind that leads to respectful conversation and productive cultural exchange, is not the kind people are into, at least when it comes to food.

But what do I know? Perhaps their smugness is a product of the inferiority complex they developed after dealing with the cuisine of an inherently superior race.
