Big Hummus wants the government to regulate your hummus

64. This would be incorrect.

Not your translation...which is iffy only because it doesn't translate to anything, it's a proper name of a dish.

It's incorrect because hummus as a dish has never strictly meant chickpeas...the Turks have been using a variety of legumes or mixed legumes to make hummus for as long as it's been a thing. Lentils, fresh green peas, soybeans and gandules (pigeon peas) being common.

This is exactly the kind of argument I expect out of Sabra however...it's like some generic salsa maker owned and run by non-Mexicans trying to dictate what can be in salsa to Mexicans. Sabra's product is as authentic as what they're complaining about.

(Edit: Sabra isn't Turkish. It's an American company founded by immigrants from Israel that was subsequently sold to European foods distributor Strauss who altered the recipes to appeal to a broader American and European audience, then sold half of it to Frito-Lay, a PepsiCo subsidiary. It's an American take on an Israeli take on an Arabic food now being produced by a major American food producer. It's the Kirk Lazarus of Mediterranean foods. Kirk, as you may recall, was the "dude playing a dude playing another dude" in Tropic Thunder.)
