Five days into our Greece vacation and you won’t hear any complaints about the food. It is savory and delicious, and there’s plenty of variety – from souvlaki, kebabs, roast chicken and lamb, eggplant, zucchini, okra, feta, Greek salads and pita. And let’s not forget about dessert – delightful concoctions like baklava made from phlyo dough, nuts and honey. But one food has eluded us in our travels so far….hummus. Search as we may hummus is not to be found on any menu.

I can’t seem to wrap my head around the idea that true Greeks don’t eat hummus. It’s on every Greek restaurant menu in the states. The American Greeks seem to claim it as their own – an authentic Greek food staple. So where is hummus in Greece?

With three days left in Greece till we head to Italy, I plan to get to the bottom of this mystery. Do you have any idea where the hummus could be hiding?
