I've had a fair amount of different hummus'es (hummi?) in the past. Store bought is seldom any good. I find that a lot of places try to go too strong on certain flavors, ie., too much garlic, too much salt, too much lemon, too much tahini, etc. The best I've had is the one I make at home. I agree that fresh beans are better but the convenience of canned can't be denied. Same with using a blender versus mortar+pestle (sp.).
