I am also supposed to find out about hummus.
What is it? I think it might be smashed chick peas. Are chick peas also called "chee-chee beans"?
In your opinion, does hummus taste good? I have heard a few opinions and they are all negative so far.

Where did hummus originate? greece? another eastern country?

I am confused as to what chick peas are. Are they those small, almost circular, very lightly brown-colored things that are in salads?
