on fridays the kids finish school and nursery early and we usually go to pick them up together and then go on to buy our favourite friday lunch – it's much easier than cooking lunch at home on a friday, because i don't have enough time that morning to do much work, both housework and work for customers, also i need to cook for shabbat, so this is a fun break for me which makes my life a lot easier.
every week our lunch of choice is hummus fool. we always buy it at the same place, the only thing that differs from week to week is the scenery, during the winter we take our hummus fool home and eat it there, unless it is warm out and then we might take it to a park and sit on the grass and eat. during the spring and summer we usually go to the beach to eat. needless to say i prefer to eat out (no clean-up afterwards), and everyone knows that food eaten picnic style is always much tastier!
if you are not from around here and may be wondering what hummus fool is - it is a dish of hummus topped with cooked fava beans, a hardboiled egg, falafel balls, on top of which they drizzle olive oil and paprika, it is served with pita bread, pickled cucumbers and at the hummus place where we buy ours they make a delectable, extraordinarily hot, spicy eggplant salad which i love to mix in with the hummus.
warning - hummus fool tends to be addictive – a few people i know have become hooked after eating friday afternoon lunch with us. if you want to try some and you're in ashkelon i recommend our guy – his shop is located under the municipality building. if you're somewhere else in israel and you can't make it here to eat with us on a friday, you will probably be able to find hummus fool in most respectable hummus joints all over the country.
betayavon!
