I rarely buy store-bought hummus, but when I do, I usually extend it by
adding stuff to it from whatever I have at home; olive oil, pepper,
onions, olives (ie., tapinade [paste]), finely-diced or paste
green/red/other pepper, fresh or dried tomatoes (ie., in oil), paprika,
parsley, more garlic, lemon, lime and/or tahini, a few drops of balsamic
vinegar (maybe), other herbs (ideally, fresh) like basil, and even
cheese, such as parmisan...
If you make it yourself, you might also get an idea of why the store's
tastes terrible. Perhaps it's some kind of ingredient in particular.
Adding too much of one thing can affect it badly. Balance.

I've never done this before, but AFAIK, tahini is unroasted sesame seed
paste, so I'm under the presumption that you could probably get away
with any similar, subtle-tasting unroasted nut paste/butter, and in
fact, you might end up with an even better hummus.
Just please don't add Cheez Whiz to your hummus, or, if you do, don't
tell me you did.

Why? That would go splendidly with the Bear Whiz Beer with which Don
accompanies his meals of...well, more Bear Whiz Beer! I feel sorry
for that poor 3rd tree on the left.

What the hell kind of beer is that?
I don't drink beer as a rule, but that's probably one I'd pass up on.
...Frankly, I think beer's an overrated drink.

Frankly, I think you haven't had good beer. It has just as much
complexity as any wine, at least the good ones do, and it's a lot
chewier. ;)
