Vegetarian food in Israel

[inyron at yahoo.com]

First of all, thanks to all the kind souls who let me know about 
Spotted Dick and the other the English foods.  I am subscribed to the 
Archive, so I'll try to be better in the future.

Secondly, I don't drink tea with lemon anymore.  But I used to- milk 
tastes good, sugar tastes good, lemon tasted good- why couldn't they 
all taste good together?  I thought the white flakes were normal.


To the point of my post- I am very uncultured, as I'm sure you 
guessed.  

But I'm applying to take a semester abroad at a college in Jerusalem 
spring next year or fall the year after.  So since we were talking 
about food, I was wondering if yael or someone else wwho lives in/has 
visited Israel would answer any of these questionsfor me:  

Falafel is vegetarian, right?  Are a lot of foods I can find there?  
Are a lot of people?  I mean, I shouldn't have a problem finding 
enough food, right?  Can I ask the person I'm buying it from?  Do 
most people there speak Hebrew and English?  Would a college dining 
hall have vegetarian meals?  I have some problems with my college 
here in the states supplying enough non-meat protein products.

Like I said, me = uncultured, so I hope you'll ignore it if any of my 
questions are really really stupid.

whose international travel consists of two weeks in France, where it 
was very hard to get vegetarian food.

who is celebrating her third-year-as-a-vegetarian anniversary this 
month.  Yay!  That doesn't seem like much, does it?
