Othniel Ebenezer Hummus, Manchester, England, in 1873.
There was a shortage of cheap protein, needed to fuel the British Empire's expansion. Hummus (later Lord Hummus) developed a nurishing paste made of cooked dried chick peas, water, and salt. It was not widely liked by soldiers in the British Army, but ample supplies of hummus are created with letting the British survive the Siege of Makeking during the Boer War.
Too much simulation theory on the brain..
No one in Greece has ever claimed hummus and there is no further mention of anything related in the article. BBC editors trying to juice this up?
