Yes, Israel is The Land of Milk and Honey, but it is also the land of falafel, shawarma, figs, dates, nuts, spices, turkish coffee, salty bulgarian cheese, creamy hummus, fluffy pita and laffa, flaky rugelach, buttery borek...In other words, the land of Israel is a militant gastronomic force armed with all the right mouth-watering culinary ammunition. Consequentially, this Middle Eastern culinary oasis stole my foodie heart.
