Fun, Affordable & Exciting!
y wife loves sushi, but
until recently she had
to travel overseas in
order to consume that
Oriental delicacy.
This is no longer the case. Now
she can find it at no less than 10
Japanese restaurants, seven in the Tel
Aviv area, two in Jerusalem and one
in Haifa.
They are among the 553 eating
places listed on an Internet site
devoted to Israeli eateries. While over
250 of them specialize in Middle
Eastern food, there are also a host of
American, Italian, Chinese and
French establishments, plus a fair
number of Indian and Mexican
restaurants.
In fact, almost every national cui-
sine is available in the Jewish state.
This plethora of choices was
absolutely inconceivable when I
arrived here nearly 47 years ago. In
kibbutzim, where I spent my first
years here, there was little more on
the menu than white cheese, bread,
olives and salad vegetables. Here and
there we did enjoy "luxuries" like the
bottles of fish paste that the British
Army had left behind when it hur-
riedly departed from this country in
1948.
We couldn't tell very much about
the content of those bottles from
their labels, which read "herring and
other fish" or "cod and other fish."
But being hungry, we didn't pay very
much attention to such details.
On those rare occasions when we
ate out in the city, things weren't
much better. We usually went to
either a "Tnuva" or a "Workers'
Kitchen," both of which served more
or less what we got on the kibbutz.
Unfortunately, the aforementioned
culinary revolution hasn't reached the
army, where poor cooks and limited
budgets have a devastating effect on
what is served.
But even there things are much
better than they were when I donned
IDF khaki in the early 50s; then our
only protein was supplied by Polish
eggs laid many weeks or months
beforehand. Now there are plenty of
Israeli eggs (and other sources of pro-
tein) in the mess halls.
But, in the meantime, no sushi.
