Apparently the idea of Israeli food is a bit complicated. It exists as a fusion of the cuisines of all the countries that Jews have lived in but then immigrated to Israel. Some key regional influences include Mediterranean and Eastern European – foods like falafel, and borscht. Then layer in Jewish dietary laws. Here are some of my favorite sites that try to describe the complexity of Israeli food:
