What you need to do is to find a nice old fashioned pub with a few "real ales" or "cask ales" on sale, and when you have a meal ask for one of the beers served by a hand pump. They set a nice pub meal off nicely.

It's well worth trying to find some. What you need to do is look out for the hand pumps. They look like this.
[url] http://www.hi-gene.co.uk/images/pump05.jpg [/url]
This will be pumped up and down a few times to pump up a pint.
(If you're interested...the reason you need a handpump is because the beer isn't pressurized, there is a lot less carbon dioxide. This is because instead of it being added artificially it's created by the yeast in a secondary fermantation, while the yeast is in the barrel. The yeast isn't killed off, so when you drink it it has living yeast in it.
There is a lot less carbon dioxide in it, so if you put it on a table you won't see bubbles rising, but it's not flat, if you shake it you will see a few little bubbles.)

"Pa amb tomàquet"
Pa amb tomàquet (bread with tomato) is a typical preparation of Catalan cuisine that consists of bread -optionally toasted- with tomato rubbed over and seasoned with olive oil and salt. Sometimes garlic is rubbed on the bread before rubbing in the tomato.
It is served accompanied with any sorts of sausages (cured botifarras, xoriço, fuet, etc.), ham, cheeses, anchovies or other marinated fish, or grilled vegetables like escalivada.
The original base used to be made with toasted slices of pa de pagès (peasants' bread), a typical round piece of wheat bread of a fair size (from 1/2 kg to 5 kg, from some 20 cm to 50 cm in diameter).
The origin of this dish is disputed as tomato is relatively new to Catalan cuisine (it came from America only after the XV century). Widely regarded as the epitome of Catalan cuisine and identity, some sources claim it is actually a relatively recent (mid to late XIX century) invention of Southern-Spain immigrants to Catalonia.
The dish is similar to the Italian bruschetta.

It does, and kjøttkak means meat cakes, something in-between meat balls and hamburgers, in brown sauce. It is usually served with lingonberry jam and flat bread
*Siiw gets hungry!

Oh, I could go on about Israeli food all day...
Israeli food has been influenced a lot by Europe and other countries because Israel is a immigrant state and also, a lot of Europeans fleeing from the Nazis came to Israel at the end of WWII.
What I consider to be a classic Israeli food definitley has European origins: Breaded Chicken Shnitzel with couse-couse. Variations of this include shnitzel with pttitim; a type of pasta made up of small grains much like rice, or farfalleh; similar to pttitim but with a more porridge-like texture to it.
I can think of no better meal, and this dish in paticular excites me - it is a personal favourite and is very special to me.
Another well-known dish is Fallouwach - a thin, multi-layered pancake of dough, usually served with a sauce of pulped tomatoes.
These two are more like fast food than the others, but I think they deserve a mention:
Falafel - small balls made of chickpeas
Shawarma - Shavings of meat served in a pitta bread with salad. It's popular throughout the Middle East.
Finally I have to mention a food that is not an Israeli dish but the obvious favourite of every Jewish grandmother - chicken soup! Usually loaded with dill and served with either kneidlach or noodles, this makes my mouth water just thinking about it.
These are my own opinions on what I think are some of most predominant foods in Israel, even though some of them certainly arent unique to the place. I haven't mentioned a national dish bcause I'm not sure what it is. I've used my own spelling, and "ch" is pronounced as in "Chaim".
By the way, my brother says that if Israel has a national food, it is Hummus, which I completely forgot about. The chick pea paste is extremely popular both at day-to-day meals and at special occasions.
