It's a dip made from chick peas, tahini (sesame paste), lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil. It's my favorite. I'll link you to the recipe I always use: web page
Being a good Lebanese girl, I vehemently reject store-bought hummus, but there is one brand that is passable. It's called Cedars, and the Lemon variety tastes somewhat like my mom's. I also get really bent out of shape when people use it as a condiment on sandwiches and stuff, but that seems to be a popular American adaptation. Traditionally, it's a dip for pita bread, crackers, and veggies. My mom says when I was 2 it was pretty much all I would eat, just in a bowl with a spoon. Mmmm.
