[edit] Israeli cuisine ?
I just saw the article name. What about changing the name to Israeli cuisine ? It fits the naming general patern of X cuisine article (mediteranean cuisine etc.) -- Esurnir 21:00, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fried fish, served baked
According to this article, "in Israeli fish restaurants, fried fish is served, baked or fried."
Are we sure about this?
[edit] Any contribution from the Russian immigration?
I noticed that there is no mention of cuisine which came with the significant immigration of new Israelis from the old Soviet Union. Has any food/drink been integrated into mainstream Israeli cuisine? —Preceding unsigned comment added by MJKazin (talk • contribs) 11:21, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Needs Rewriting
The writing on this page is appalling and there are no references. This is an important article, and needs a lot of serious work.--Gilabrand (talk) 07:56, 11 December 2007 (UTC) So go on then. Knock yourself out and let us have your non-appalling version: due importance, serious work, the lot. Plutonium27 (talk) 19:12, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
- I Second Gilabrand. I am going to remove the entire first section and place it here. Somebody can feel free to re-write it and put it back in the article if they so please, however the article will stand perfectly well alone without it. Rudy Breteler (talk) 17:08, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] removed section
Defining Israel's cuisine Like many nations built up of immigrants from around the world, there is a large debate over whether an Israeli cuisine actually exists at all. Many believe that because Israel is a new state which does not have a long tradition of cooking. Because many of the dishes which are currently considered Israeli originate from Arab cuisine, and the cuisines from the countries from which the Jews immigrated to Israel, to some Israeli cuisine is just a fusion of styles from around the world, with no apparent unique aspect.
In contrast, many do assert that Israel does have its own cuisine. They argue that many cuisines influence each other and "borrow" dishes from others. This can be seen across the Asian cuisines for example, whilst what some countries asster to be their national foods, actually originate in other countries, for example the hamburger, the sausages, the pizza and the French fries as the cuisine of the United States which actually originate in Germany, Italy and Belgium. Many dishes in Israel cannot be found in other countries, however, most notably, when there are mixtures of combinations of elements of the Middle Eastern and European cuisines such as goulash and couscous.
Whether or not Israel does have its own cuisine the two main currents in the food which could be seen as Israeli Cuisine, are the foods originating from the Israeli-Mizrahi culture and the traditional Israeli cuisine.
