I’ll have a two-and-a-half hour drive home after work today. I want to make sure the hummus is OK for the trip. Is it OK to freeze it?
Yes.
Thanks, standingwave.
I bet I’m not the only half-blind geezer who thought this thread title was “Is it OK to freeze humans?”
Oh, yes. Humans can be frozen just like any other meat.

I think hummus is fine to leave out for a few hours…or do you mean you’d be carrying the hummus at work all day, then bringing it home?
My Lebanese friends used to leave hummus out on the counter for days on end. They claimed as long as you didn’t mix the olive oil in with it, it was fine at room temperature.
We never got sick or died from it, as far as I recall.
This is the second headline I’ve read wrong in so many days. Yesterday they had breaking watermelons and today Johnny is freezing humans. I just don’t know what to make of my fellow Dopers next. Perhaps I should start a thread…
I also thought that was the title but I thought the thread would be about cryogenics.
I’m not even half-blind and I misread the title, too.
It’s an organic “auto complete” function that has our brains leaping to conclusions ahead of our occular input.
Occasionally annoying, occasionally hilarious.
“Freezing humans? Are we talking pre- or post-death? :dubious:”
If it’s the former, I’m going to cautiously go with “No.” But I’m open to arguments. 
I just checked my copy of How To Serve Man and it definitely recommends at human flesh be served fresh with minimal aging. It doesn’t say anything about freezing but does suggest that the nervous system signals to the vagus nerve be inhibited so that the subject does not emit excessive auditory signals which typically contain no useful semantic content.

What’s all this fuss about sneezing humans?
No, you’re not the only one. And I was about to say “Only if it’s consensual.”
Serious answer—I’ve done it before, and it changes the texture a little bit when it thaws.
No, you’re not the only one. There are plenty of us half-blind geezers here. 
Aint it fertilizer to begin with? Humus?
I hope you’re talking about hummus.
Does the hummus get grainier texture? I don’t like that grainy texture in hummus. I wouldn’t like more of it. I’ve been considering freezing hummus as well since I don’t eat it fast enough before it would spoil in the refrigerator sometimes.
