Shawarma Shawarma Shawarma


Yesterday I got to try my first meal outside the center. I went into East Jerusalem with some friends and we found a place with a lot of people so we felt safe trying it (I have heard plenty of stories about sketchy places...). Shawarma is pretty much like a doner or kebab, for those who have tried them, and this one was quite yummy. They have huge piles of meat (I think lamb) and then put pieces of fat on top of them and cook, letting the fat drip down over the meat. They shave the meat off and then put it in a pit/wrap type thing along with some salad and a sauce. Delicious. I loved the guy's beard in the picture, cool huh?

I also tried pop rock chocolate which is amazing! It is really good milk chocolate with pop rocks mixed in, I thought it sounded weird but tried it and it was really good!

The picture of the meat looks slightly grotie but anything dipped in that much grease has got to taste good. I like your face as you eat. Very you.

Three cheers for Kebabs. Sarah, if you get a chance to find out how we could start a franchise, take advantage!
