My favorite drink was definitely ice coffee.
Favorite food , salad bar with all the variety
Favorite snack, not sure, maybe froyo.
Other big things I miss are the sauce they give to dip pizza crust in and Israeli grape juice.

Not a snack but I weirdly miss corn Schnitzel, even though I thought it was gross while the there.
Shoko b'sakit
Gummies from the shul
The flavored waters (apple, peach, grape), although since then, Hint water made an appearance and it's pretty good.
The drink with aloe vera cubes

Totally correct. Feeling ill when I see soldiers names each day and am petrified daily because we have family fighting in Gazza and Jenin, and I know families personally that have lost sons. So yeah, snacks are silly to me but I said Sorry.

Come on. Why make a thread something is not?
If you find it silly, just dont reply.
This thread is great. Signed someone also living in israel.
Its a nice distraction.

Fresh kabukim
Mmmmm literally nothing like it

I like the fact that it is easy to get fresh nuts at kiosks and corner shops.

And I like that I can easily pop into a makolet on every other street corner and get a fresh fruit to snack on.

They have pesek zman here.
It's the stuff you can't take along that most of us miss. I also loved crêpes from the middle of shefa. Yum!

Those burekas and pizza wheels are just puff pastry. Mix some chicken soup mix into instant mashed potatoes for the burekas.
Though I don’t think they make toasts the same way in chul.

It is indeed very different from the Kedem grape juice made from purple NY Concord grapes. We have Kedem only when we do Seder at my sister's house. They buy a huge jug of it. My family actually prefers the Carmel Tirosh so that is what we always buy but personally I much prefer the Kedem. It has more of that classic 'grape' flavor that I remember from my early childhood. I guess it's nostalgia speaking.

Marzipan and dairy rugelach must be in some specialty store or cafe. I've never seen them sold in regular bakeries.

She doesnt mean rugelach made from marzipan. She means the Marzipan bakery rugelach - they're the best! I believe they sell them in ben yehuda but its been a while
