Israeli Breakfast

Israeli breakfast consists of numerous ingredients such as yogurt, cheese, salads, omelets, peppers, flatbreads, fish, olives, fresh juices, dips, and butter. This breakfast style originated on the kibbutz collective farm, where a hefty breakfast was crucial to endure the long day of manual labor following it. Israeli hotels picked up the habit during the 1950s, adopting the breakfast style and serving it as a self-service buffet for their guests. Since serving meat and dairy together is forbidden in Jewish culture, Israeli breakfast remained a dairy meal. Even without meat, it is believed that one might not be able to eat lunch nor dinner after feasting on this unique Israeli creation.
