Hummus is common throughout the Middle East, North Africa, Cyprus, Greece, Armenia, and to a lesser extent in Western countries such as England and the United States.
Tahini hummus, also known as Israeli-style hummus, is the most popular type of hummus in Israel.
The most Israeli thing is to wipe hummus with pita (preferably light) in the center of the hummus, high-quality tahini, parsley, cumin, lemon and chickpeas. And if there is falafel on the side, then it is excellent.
