Israel: the ultimate hummus warrior!
Oh yes, Israel is once again a world record holder. It took hours of blood, sweat and finger dipping tears but Israel has once again seized the record for the largest ever plate of hummus. Weighing in at over 4 tons, it smashed the previous 2 ton record held by the Lebanese and set last [...]

The Coffee Bar, Tel Aviv
Don’t be deceived by the name; the Coffee Bar is neither a cafe or a bar, it’s actually a very decent Bistro that leaves a good impression on almost everyone who visits.

Falafel: the legend, the myth…the chickpeas
Ahhh, falafel. Oh yes, those smallish, round, brown, slightly crunchy oily things, with the green, speckly insides, tucked into a pita bread with some tehina sauce and even some of that hummus stuff, plus a little salad and chips.
