Father Knows Best!

When I asked my Dad what he'd would look for if he went back to Israel, he said to be sure to get some kinaffe, an Arabic dessert that combines the soft, salty taste of cheese with the sweet, crunchy taste of this syrupy concoction that is topped with what looks like shredded wheat.

I tried kinaffe three or four times, in two differing forms, and was not disappointed. My favorite came from Nazareth. So the age-old question, "Can anything good come from Nazareth," now officially has two correct answers.

Other favorite meals/foods inlcluded:
* Soulvaki/gyro (Greece)
* Felafel and Shwarma sandwiches (Israel)
* Several amazing dinners at the homes of one Greek and two Arabic families -- you simply cannot beat Mediterranean hospitality!!!

This One's For Dad! (Kinaffe)
