Maybe I should try some humus then because I do not like hummus. I haven't liked chickpeas since the first time I tried them. I'm sure there is some way to prepare them that might change my mind. They are quite nutritious and high in protein, so it's my loss if I don't eat them.
Because Americans are known for being incredibly dumb when it comes to anything even slightly out of their knowledge or comfort zone. And as my Dad liked to say, most of them have the palates of peasants.
Do you have a cite for this? Without a cite it's just you and your dad having an opinion.
Because I have lived in several countries and traveled to many more, and I find for the most part Americans are exposed and used to a much more diverse cuisine than much of the rest of the world. With the possible exception of Europe, which is similarly diverse.

Oh, I forgot - all Americans are like that, that's right. Wait... I'm not like that. Like most Americans, I have an innate curiosity about what other ethnic groups eat.
Many years ago my brother began emailing me about this wonderful new food he discovered: hummus. He wanted me to try it, but, I postponed putting it on my grocery list and never thought of it. This went on for years. Very little time passed between his mentions of this delicious item. Finally, I visited him and first thing was for me to try hummus. He proudly arranged it on a tray with some crackers and beamed with great anticipation awaiting my reaction. I had no idea what to expect and was surprised to discover it was only bean dip.

LOL, I know right? Too funny, you are right.
I spent years growing up eating hummus, and I've been making it on occasion for decades. But it's suddenly become A Thing, a trend, entire supermarket shelves are filled with it and this is a new thing.
And of course now you have all the fancy-schmancy pita bread products to go along with it, that used to cost .99 per package and are now upwards of $3.00.
Ok, I can't find anything on humus or hummus cheese and the OP hasn't come back to answer the questions asked of him about it. Also this thread has gotten off topic. Time to close.
