Dinner out

A few of us enjoyed a 2-mile hike to the local mall, where we were able to enjoy dinner out.

Getting into the mall was interesting in itself. There is a security checkpoint similar to those at an airport. There is a metal detector, and all bags are searched. (I would have posted a picture of it, but the security guard told me it was forbidden.) It is a little unsettling at first, but then nice to know that things are safe.

After getting inside, it was like being at any American mall. Many of the same brands were on offer, though there were some Israeli chains and brands.

I ate dinner at a familiar-yet-different place:




It was the first kosher ביג מק (Big Mac) I've ever eaten -- no cheese!

Is American Cheese technically cheese? :-)

According to Wikipedia it does not meet the legal definition though it contains some dairy byproducts like whey so I guess it still falls under the restrictions. :-(

Yeah, they're pretty strict about it!

What happens if you order a double cheeseburger?
