Israeli Breakfast

To avoid the hot sun, Israel's pioneer farmers would work in the early morning. After the day heated up and their appetites were large, they would break for a hearty meal of bread, olives, cheese, and vegetables. While few Israelis today take the time to eat this full morning meal, Israeli hotels generally serve a large, varied and satiating "Israeli Breakfast" to tourists.
