KittenKong Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Looks like the misunderstanding about neighbouring or not neighbouring was mine. Sorry about that. But I did get to spend an entertaining 30 seconds trying to think of a neighbouring country to Israel whose name sounds like Morocco, so all is not lost. Surprised that the influence on Israeli cooking should come from Morocco rather than Algeria or Tunisia or Libya, given that all of the latter are much closer and all four have similar cuisines. We live and learn. I was particularly interested as I lived in North Africa for the best part of year, a few decades ago, and I always liked the food.

Jingthing Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 There are also influences from those countries and others where Jews came from to Israel. I just gave two examples.

slafriphos Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I haven't tried it but I see Retox bar getting a few mentions Retox has no smoking signs all over the bar. When there are drinkers (anytime), they can smoke under the eyes of the owner inside the bar. I eat elsewhere when I see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing worth writing home to the kibbutz about. The Place seems to have switched from really good crusty bread for that to boring mini baguettes. Sad.

KittenKong Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I was in Retox and was surprised and amused to see two Thai girls come in, look at the menu and then order the same breakfast special that I was having. They had the fried bread (I always have that replaced with toast), and they also had the black pudding. Made me smile. If that isn't a recommendation I don't know what is!

We live and learn. I was particularly interested as I lived in North Africa for the best part of year, a few decades ago, and I always liked the food. Morocco has had a very large Jewish population for many centuries. Many are descended from Jews who fled the Spanish Inquisition in the 15th century but there has also been large tribes of Sephardi Jews who date back beyond the dawn of Christianity. Many Moroccan Jews immigrated to Israel in the early years after it's formation after WW2. The Sephardim are actually looked down on there and claim they are discriminated against. Like many poor immigrant groups elsewhere, many made a living selling food in street stalls and neighborhood restaurants. Moroccan street food is delicious as is the national cuisine and it caught on in Israel and eventually became a major influence. I spent 2 years stationed in Morocco in the late 1960's and really liked the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
