Israeli’s love their food and are extremely fussy about quality. Conveniently, this means you can eat well for very little. The cuisine is a delightful ethnic blend of flavors from places such as Persia, Algiers, Arabia, Libya and other the middle eastern lands. Look out for these delicious staples:
Falafel – spicy chick pea fritters
Houmous - a nutty blend of chickpeas, lemon juice and olive oil
Labane –sour white cheese
Shish kebab – grilled skewered meat – usually lamb
Tahini - sesame seed sauce
Arab salad – very finely chopped fresh vegetables with herbs
Baklava – a sticky flakey pastry desert cake
Tajin - chicken cooked with dried fruits
