I Know Middle Eastern Food Can Be Spicy But This is Ridiculous

Been a bit of a slacker with the blog posts as of late but I’ve been a bit busy. Details to come soon.

If you’re not hungry for more What War Zone content, then maybe you’re at least hungry for some delicious Israeli food. Whether it’s kababs, juicy vegetables, or tasty cheeses, we have it all. If you’re a purebred Ashkenazi, be wary of spicy foods as the Middle Easterners don’t mess around. I know food can be spicy but what the hell is this about?

Apologies to the disappearing Kinneret but I’m going to need another glass of water, please. Todah.

    No way! We got one of these last month and I forgot to post it :)

    We asked the waitress, and she gave us some strange story about it being code for the kitchen to get the food ready, like "ready, aim, get the food ready." It wasn't clear to us, to say the least, but she seemed to think it was perfectly normal. Of course :)

    But the fire is free. What's to complain about?

    I'm trying so hard to read the Hebrew and translate, I completely missed the point! Finally got it on the 3rd try. heeheehee – that's funnier than the receipt. Well, to me, anyway. :)

    Toby is right. Waiters enter the appetizers and main courses at the same time. To ensure that you get the appetizers first and the main course when you're ready, the kitchen doesn't begin preparing your main course until the waiter "fires" through the computer to the kitchen.

    It isn't supposed to show up on your bill, though. :-)

    I'm still stuck trying to figure out how the heck you can afford a 22 nis bottle of water…unless it's cheaper than missing work b/c of shil shul that you still get from free tap water…

    did the waiter say "Chase, Chase, Chase me the fox?

    I love that it's the only English word on the cheshbon too.

    And btw, the captcha is mocking me. It says, "imated."

    do you always opt-in twice for avtacha (last item on bill)?

    Nothing wrong with tap water here btw. We drink it all the time, at home and outside too. I will never get the American thing here of always having mineral water. Almost every American I know living here (ok, Oleh Hadash, whatever) are slaves to some Mey Edden bar of some sorts. I guess you guys just enjoy wasting money on nothing?
