The Yemenite people brought Jachnun (dish prepared from rolled dough which is baked on very low heat for about ten hours.) The Europeans brought Gefilte fish (a poached fish mince stuffed into the fish skin). The Spaniard brought Burke (baked or fried filled pastries made of a thin flaky dough). The Maghreb (north Africa) people brought Couscous (dish of semolina with vegetable stew spooned over it). The Iraqis brought Sabich (pita stuffed with fried eggplant). The Americans brought the cottage cheese which became the popular cheese in Israel. As you can saw in the map around Israel, there are 4 Arab's countries: Lebanon, Syria, Egypt and Jordan. Their cuisine affect a lot about the Israeli cuisine like: From Lebanon we take the Mujaddara (consists of cooked lentils together with groats, wheat or rice, garnished with roasted onions that have been sauteed in vegetable oil). From Egypt we take the Hummus and the falfel. Even from Turkey we take Halva (many types of dense, sweet confections). All these type of foods mixed up into one unique cuisine - The Israeli cuisine. Also the Israelis create their own food like Ptitim (toasted pasta shaped like rice), Cherry tomato (Tomaccio), Shkedei marak (soup mandel - crisp mini croutons), Bissli, Bamba. Bamba become the most popular snake in Israel. We brought you some Bamba and Bissli so you can taste.

Chocolate When I was younger chocolate was one of my favorite foods. But when I grow up I was starting to abstain this food from my daily menu. And nowadays I don't eat it at all. On the one hand chocolate is sweetly tasty food that gives me a lot of energy from just small piece. I used to take with me a piece of chocolate for each test I had because that energy I get from the chocolate make me get better grades in tests. On the other hand after I finish my test I got a sugar drop in my blood what makes me sleepy and distracted than I was before. When I got to adolescence I got zits on my face. When I come to the doctor, he said I should avoid chocolate if I don't want any more zits. That was the time I start abstain chocolate. Avoiding chocolate isn't my favorite decision because chocolate was one of my favorite food I gave up of, But I have to fulfill what the doctor said.
