Hummus and pita bread are side dishes at virtually every meal, or they are part of the meal itself, with shuarma or falafel.
A variety of "salads" ordered to share at a restaurant in Bethlehem.
A grilled meat mixture in a Bethlehem restaurant. Grilled chicken, lamb, and beef meatballs.
A variety of pizzas offered for lunch in an Israeli deli shop. To make their food kosher, they never mix meat with dairy products. So you can never order a meat pizza or a cheeseburger. Amy says the pizza doesn't taste like we're used to. Corn is one of the topping options!
Mom wanted me to photograph this pizza covered in sesame seeds.
A chocolate swirled pastry Joni, Jackson, and I enjoyed. Yum. Not as sweet as it would be in the USA, which is typical here.
What is that! We still don't remember the name of it, but I had to try it. The man told us it tastes like an orange, but we're thinking it looks like a cross between a lemon and a grapefruit. It's huge.
Joni and I enjoying shuarma, a fun lamb dish. They cook it on a big rod and then slice it off for each person's order. This restaurant let us fill our own pitas with the lamb and many side dishes like hummus, a vinegary cabbage salad, a cold potato salad, a parsley and cous cous dish, pickles, chopped tomatoes and cucumbers, and they put French fries inside their pita sandwiches!
Mom and Amy enjoying their shuarma.
I tried a passion fruit slush at the museum of the 2,000 year-old boat. Seeds and all! Delicious and refreshing!
