Don’t get me wrong, I love a good hummus and regularly make it myself.
BUT! So many places that have one or two vegan options just offer _____ hummus. Sandwich with veggies and hummus, hummus salad bowl, hummus over rice and grilled veggies.
I just can’t see it anymore. Usually the hummus is not even that good …
Why is hummus the only thing those restaurants can think of when creating a vegan meal?
I feel like that’s a common trend with vegan food. Take a delicious food item and overuse it until it’s almost disgusting. I love hummus but I can imagine if I ate it all the time I would get sick of it. I’m like that a little bit with mushrooms, I love mushrooms but eating a ton of them makes them gross for me.
I think something sorta unique about hummus that makes it really popular is that it’s a vegan protein source that is served cold and can surprisingly substitute meat and cheese well. Like you mentioned about sandwiches, you can take out the deli meat and cheese and replace it with hummus and it still tastes delicious. Most vegan protein sources are cooked and served warm, or don’t taste well with garden vegetables (like peanut butter).
Hummus!
