One of my favourite things to do when travelling is discovering the local food. When we visited Jerusalem, we ate their local food of falafel, hummus made from chick peas, kebabs made from lamb and their vegetarian Jerusalem salad made of tomato and cucumber with parsley and tahini sauce. We tried it all around Old Jerusalem and especially at Hummus Lina Restaurant. This restaurant has been in this City for over 60 years and is still family owned. Apparently, the third and fourth generation family members are now managing this restaurant. Hummus Lina makes one of the best hummus in town. As you can see from the photo below, their hummus is made with pine nuts, parsley, local Israeli olive oil and chick peas. It was so filling to dip the pita bread on it and eat all of the falafel made from chick peas and crispy fried to perfection. Jewish/Arab food is a mix of vegetarian with some meat together with the Jerusalem salad which is so refreshing in the Middle Eastern heat. I miss eating their food which is healthy and great for loosing weight. I never thought I could eat vegetarian all day and some days. That's why when you travel, never hesitate to try their local food. You might love it too.
