Passover Fun Fact
01 APRIL 2010
Pesach פסח(Passover) Fun fact ;)
So I needed food today. I haven't really been at the dorms so I didnt really need food. I went food shopping naturally and found something rather shocking. To me it was shocking since Im from New York. But now that I think about it, its rather logical for Israel.
In the supermarkets all of the bread/grain products are covered or removed from the shelves. You can not buy any of it. When Passover is over then you can buy bread/grain products. I wish I knew so I could have bought things on Sunday before I left. Its good to know though for future reference.
I was hungry and so I went to the food court and figured Id get pizza thinking fast food doesnt count. ...yup fast food does. Sbarro the pizza place was not selling regular pizza. So I left and decided Burger King. They were like yeah we got burgers. Not real buns. I shall wait till next week for my beautiful slice of pizza. It was rather shocking at first. "Ahh what happened to the store? Is there a problem?" Nope, just cant eat bread/grain products during Pesach. Ha sill me. I forgot. Ahh wonderful new experiences in foreign countries.
This one has photos and more descriptions.
