Breakfast - The Holy Land Version

Went out for brekkie this morning.
Israelis take great pride in their breakfasts. Breakfasas here are usually of the degustation genre- this huge meal of pretty much everything you can think of, as long as it's kosher. Probably a way to take your mind of the absence of bacon/sausage/ham.

You don't have to mess with a "Breakfast Menu" you find at cafes of the Potts Point variety. None of the tough decision making in the morning: eggs or pancakes? You want breakfast, you order breakfast, you get breakfast.

Should have brought my cam with me, but didn't so you will have to do with the inventory list... This is what you get when you order "Breakfast"- no particular order and I'm almost sure I forgot a thing or two.

Grapefruit juice
Bread basket
Muffins
Omelet
Jam
Strawberries
Big bowl of veggie salad
Cheese
More cheese
Tuna salad (random!!)
Herring (and you thought tuna was random!)
A bowl of olives
Tahini
A bowl of fried something (I think it may have been eggplant)
Coffee

And you know something - apart from the omelet (Jewish chooks just don't give nice eggs I reckon) it was all kinda tasty. Pretty skinny chance lunch is happening today.
