Roots in Gaza

When the flotilla of fools finally lands in Gaza, they will have a wealth of dining options to choose from. Among the many fine restaurants, I would most particularly suggest Roots. Steak au poivre, yum!


From Lonely Planet:
"By far the most expensive up-scale restaurant in Gaza, Roots is where important people dine on steak au poivre and chicken cordon bleu, though, since alcohol isn't served, there's no washing it down with a good vintage of anything other than Coke. Owner Basil Eleiwa and partners sunk US$1.1 million into the place, which has a nice outdoor area for evening dining, and incorporates the Green Terrace Café, serving sandwiches, mezze and light lunches all day long in less formal surroundings. "


For their benefit I have done a bit of research.

Gosh, it sounds so wonderful!
And so many of these 'freedom flotilla' dunces are traveling on European tax money, so it can all be expensed!
I am so jealous.


Note: many of the meat dishes are cooked with dairy. This might present a problem for any Jews who might be tagging along with the European socialists, rabid Irish anti-Semites, and ignorant American radicals.
But most of them, being Jewish in name only, and only when it is expedient, should not be worried in the slightest. It has been several years since even a shred of Jewishness was part of their lives.
The rest of their merry gang of morons wouldn't touch kosher with a ten foot pole anyhow.

Bon appétit!
