Darn It, I lost my Hebrew
OK since I promised Abage I'm writing in English (sacrifice - amarnu??) We faced the same issue many times. Our first international food "demonstration" was a "falafel stand". It was quite a sucsess - eventhough the falafel I've made came out horrible... since the Americans don't know a falafel from knidale
. Any way, There's no need to create falafels from scratch, you can get the ready to make ones (osem or whatever probably at any jewish store or arab store (don't forget to put the Israeli flag first...) We set up a table with half pitas, Israeli salad bowls - very thin and small cut veggies, a bowl of charif, a bowl of choped melafefonim chamoozim, a bowl of thina, and of course - quite a few falafel balls we've fried erlier at home. We've made quite a show of the whole thing including immitating the calls of those who try to sell the falafel with a lot of "yalla' bo'oo kvar. Al tiknu sham. anything you feel like shouting in Hebrew That's going to match the shuk atmosphere. As I said, it was quite a sucsess. The kids loved it (ours and their friends) and the adults didn't stop asking us to do it again and again. Bekitzur, in Hebrew it would have been much more interesting and much, much .....shorter...
