This morning I made a consulting job in the Strauss corporate HQ. It is a luxurious ten floor glass and marble building surrounded by parks with statues. A bronze (pic) looks like a cow cut in two with suckling babies (unscrutably, it's called "Asia"). The statue of a nursing she-wolf is Rome's totem. The same idea. Perhaps.

Strauss is almost unknown in the US. Their "Sabra" brand hummus (a joint venture with Pepsi) is increasingly popular. Hummus is becoming all-American, like bagels and pizza and yogurt, which were all once "ethnic" food consumed only by the appropriate immigrants. Once the item "breaks out" to the general population you can make a fortune - if all 300 million Americans eat a cup of yogurt every week, that's a lot of yogurt. In order to become widely popular the food has to become bland and deracinated - now there is hummus in all sorts of "flavors" (roasted pepper, black bean, etc.) , the raw garlic is cut way down and the hummus is pureed to the texture of baby food.

The local hummus is heavy with olive oil. It produces gas.

Olive oil is too expensive for a supermarket product. They use cheap and tasteless soy bean or canola oil here instead.

"Olive oil" is on the top only. The rest is soya oil.
Koko's input: "You know your mind is being controlled by Israelis when you start liking hummus."
