Translated title of the contribution: Hummus and the Organic Food Trend in Israel: Cosmopolitanizing a National Dish

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Hummus.a Middle Eastern dish and one of the most common foods in Israel.was appropriated several decades ago as an icon of Israeli culture and nationality. It represents rootedness, earthiness, local simplicity and most of all Israeliness. Organic hummus.a recent version of the dish.represents an encounter of the global and the local in consumption, due to global ethical culinary trends. In this article I analyze how re.branding local food as organic adds a layer of cosmopolitanism, which is status related.
