Currently, all I want to eat is Mediterranean food. Or is it Middle Eastern food? Whatever I had during my ten days in Israel, that’s what I want to be eating (minus the eggplant). Yes, I went to Israel for ten days, on a pilgrimage organized by the Catholic Traveler; yes, I felt safe; yes, swimming in the Dead Sea is strange; and yes, the tour-bus drivers there have superpowers.
Perhaps when I’ve had time to process everything I experienced on that trip, I’ll write more about it. Unquestionably, the holy sites were the most important piece, but food is easier to process than the Mount of Transfiguration, and so I shall describe to you my attempt at re-creating some of the delicious dishes I ate during my trip — falafel fails and all.
