This would be great for breakfast, along with a side dish of fresh fruits and a glass of cold Wisconsin milk.

 

In Israel, the breakfast fare is lots of hard rolls of various sizes, fresh fruits and veggie salads, and no vein-clogging bacon and eggs. It's quite different and takes awhile to get used to cukes and olives for breakfast.
