Item #2 (Low-Intermediate Level)

Israeli Couscous

For seventy years the Israelis invent a few things that change the whole

world. We’re usually good at technology, but less so in culinary. Still

today (people) in Israel argue over where do the falafel, tahini and
Shawarma come from, but don’t argue about one thing – ‘ptitim’. They

make the ‘ptitim’ in the fifties, because there isn’t a lot of food in Israel,

and Ben Gurion asks Osem for cheap food that could replace rice. At first
(they) only eat ‘ptitim’ in Israel, but from the moment they make them

round Israeli Couscous, found in every home in Israel, gets to many

restaurants in the whole world, too.
