It's Day 4 of my trip to Israel and ......I'm stuffed. When people find out you're a food journalist, it's only natural they want to feed you. So on day 4 we had not 2, or 3, but 6 meals, each one comprised of the classic dishes of Israel--lots of salads, hummus, and falafel. It's typical for them to bring out anywhere from 3 to 6 little bowls of vegetable salads. And in our case, this number usually increased to 8. What you will find is: roasted peppers, chopped salad of tomatoes,onions and cucumber, grilled eggplant in tahini sauce, hummus, pita bread, zucchini, pickled carrots, tabouleh, babaganoush, ..among others. Today we had a lunch in Tiberius, the coastal town Jesus lived in for part of his life. I can't even begin to remember what all the dishes were, but it was truly comical to look at the table littered with probably 15 bowls of food--all very delicious. We finished it off with Turkish coffee and mint tea. On to day 5....after a run on the beach.
