srael is well aware that ene-
my intelligence agents are
constantly on the lookout for
snippets of information that
might lead to revelation of mili-
tary secrets. So army personnel
and publications always are
careful not to divulge anything
that could provide spies with
even a clue to closely guarded
secrets.

Organoleptic?
It was the first
time the spies
had ever encoun-
tered the word,
given in Hebrew.
Did it have
anything to do
with missiles? A
new gun? A bio-
logical weapon to
spread epilepsy
among soldiers on
the other side?
There was a flur-
ry of excitement.

Were they on the track of some-
thing fundamental to the oper-
ations of the Israel Defense
Forces?
If it is true, as someone once
said, that an army marches on
its stomach, then the spies were
indeed on to a most vital aspect
of the country's security, relat-
ed to the proper feeding of the
armed forces.
Soldiers used to joke about
luf, the canned meatloaf which
was the staple of the British
troops in Israel, then taken over
by Israel's fledgling army in

kosher form. All of that has
changed.
Today, the Israeli army is as
serious about the food it serves
its men and women as it is about
the supply of ammunition, per-
haps more so.

What do the
organoleptics have

closely. A corner

Israel's men and women in
uniform consume in one year
4,000 tons of cheese, 20,000
tons of vegetables, 6,000 tons of
potatoes, 80 million eggs and 11
million loaves of bread, among
other supplies.
What do the soldiers like
most? A survey of their taste
choices showed that schnitzel is
in first place among 38 percent
of them. Second in popularity,
though far behind, is "chips," or
what Americans call french fries.
Next in order are chocolate and
spaghetti — with chicken low on
the list.
