PRI's The World - Geo Quiz Podcast 435
Hummus Home Hummus is a concoction of mashed chickpeas, olive oil, and lemon juice...with a pinch of salt and garlic. It's especially popular in the Middle East...where it originated. Today's Geo Quiz wants to get a bit more specific. We're looking for the country that has staked its claim to being the birthplace of hummus. Chefs there recently prepared a massive plate of the dip, tipping the scales at more than two tons. The purpose was to remind folks that hummus came from this country. It has a long coastline with the Mediterranean Sea. Name it, and we'll take you there.
