"can be combined with both meat and dairy meals"
[edit ]Slightly misleading as Kashrut laws doesn't allow meat AND dairy together. Maybe change it to "can be combined with either meat or dairy meals"? 72.43.123.207 (talk) 19:15, 1 June 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Semi-protected edit request on 15 April 2026
[edit ]|answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.I request for where it says "Middle Eastern chickpea puree dish" in the short description to be changed to "Middle Eastern and North African chickpea puree dish", since Egypt is in North Africa, not the Middle East. ~2026-23258-33 (talk) 18:37, 15 April 2026 (UTC) [reply ]

UK section: 2013 sales/fridge survey figures may need qualification
[edit ]The UK subsection currently states: "As of 2013, £ 60 million worth of hummus was sold in the UK each year, and one survey found that 41% of British respondents had hummus in their fridge"
I think the second part may need qualification or a better source, because the literal inference from the two figures appears internally strained.
The cited Guardian article gives both numbers, but does not seem to identify the survey, sample, question wording, or whether "had hummus in their fridge" was meant as a literal point-in-time observation, a household-level claim, or a looser consumer-habit statement. Read literally as "41% had a pot in the fridge at a random time", the figure seems hard to reconcile with the reported £ 60m annual market size.
A rough consistency check illustrates the issue. Even at £ 1-2 per pot, £ 60m/year corresponds to about 30-60 million pots annually. Spread across roughly 26 million UK households in 2013, that is only about 1-2 pots per household per year on average. For 41% of households/respondents to have hummus present in the fridge at a random point in time, the average pot would need to remain "observable" in the fridge for a very long period, unless consumption was extremely concentrated among a subset of households or the survey wording meant something other than a point-in-time fridge inventory.
I am not proposing that this calculation be added to the article. Rather, it seems to indicate that the present wording may overstate what the cited source supports. Zaunerpa (talk) 22:17, 20 May 2026 (UTC) [reply ]
