There's loads of others you can see on PBS, rather than on cable, 
too...  I *love* PBS, have ever since I was a kid (Sesame Street and 
so on, to tie this in with the childrens' program thread from the 
other day)...  hey, I was wondering, does anyone else remember my 
favorite, *favorite* kids' show, "The Magic Garden," with Carole and 
Paula, that was on WPIX 11 in NY???

Falafel isn't specifically Israeli, I don't think, (Middle Eastern in 
general), but it is definitely good...

If it wasn't canned fruit, they were *definitely* trying. :)

Corn?  Turkey?  Tomatoes are a New World food too (didn't the 
colonists think they were poisonous or something?), right?
