Hummus!

I had hummus once, and it tasted like bean dip from a can. It should have been served with Fritos instead of pita chips.

Was the dip I tried uninspired? Are there better hummuses (?) to be found? What other uses are there for hummus dip?

I need to ask something.

Why are we eating hummus? Does it fit in with certain dietary needs? Is it healthier than other dips? Is it because it can be customized easily?
