#FOODANDLIT ISRAEL

The day opens with a siren the preceding evening at 20:00 (8:00 pm), given that in the Hebrew calendar system, a day begins at sunset. The siren is heard all over the country and lasts for one minute, during which Israelis stop everything, including driving on highways, and stand in silence, commemorating the fallen and showing respect.

MySharonaK There‘s another one tomorrow at 11 am 😢 3y
Texreader Oh this is incredibly touching. Wow. Imagine, a whole country... 3y
GingerAntics That‘s amazing! A while country just stopping everything. Now that‘s a country that truly values it‘s fallen. I love everything about this. 3y

Veebee The children playing with parents and grandparents on the beach, people dancing in groups , the lovely music in the background and a long relaxing stroll are my favourite memories of Tel Aviv. And yes, the fruits were just delicious ! 3y
MySharonaK @Veebee that‘s beautiful!! 💚😍 3y

Look what is about to go in oven! This is the Challah bread, eaten mostly on the Sabbath or with Friday night dinner. It‘s sweet and comforting and goes with anything, from jam to shakshuka to spicy Moroccan fish (recipe in comments). #israel #foodandlit

https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/sufganiyot-israeli-donuts.html

Sufganiyot, also known as, Israeli jelly donuts or “Hanukkah donuts” are deep-fried jelly donuts that are traditionally eaten in Israel during the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah. Here the oil used to fry the donuts, like a traditional latke, are reminiscent of the oil that miraculously burned— according to the Hanukkah story—in the ancient Temple in Jerusalem.

To me Israeli food is home and Israeli snacks are a big part of it. This snack is called Bamba, it‘s made from peanuts and I can say with confidence it‘s the most loved Israeli snack. Whenever I get a parcel from my loved ones in Israel, I know they are going to send some Bamba too. This one was sent by my lovely grandma last month ❤️ #israel #foodandlit

Yuki_Onna @MySharonaK Looks delicious! ❤Yumyum... 🍿Much love to you! 😘 3y
MySharonaK @Yuki_Onna ❤️❤️ thank you! And much love to you my darling 😘💕 3y
Smrloomis Cool, it‘s made out of peanuts or something peanut related right? I think I read about it because Israelis don‘t have a lot of kids with peanut allergies... something like that. 3y
See All 9 Comments
MySharonaK @Smrloomis yes you‘re absolutely right! it‘s made from peanuts and because Israeli children eat Bamba from a pretty young age, peanut allergy is not as common there 3y
Smrloomis @MySharonaK thanks! I really wish I could remember where I read that 😂 but glad it‘s at least true! 3y
Butterfinger I hope I can find some. 3y
MySharonaK @Butterfinger I think you can find Bamba on Amazon US :) 3y
Butterfinger @MySharonaK @AmyK1 I just ordered some from Amazon. 3y
MySharonaK @Butterfinger awesome! Can‘t wait to hear what you think 😍 3y
