 Hey guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosal here bringing you this video just before the start of Yomats Maut Israel's National Independent Holiday. Effectively Israel's National Day and I just did some super marketing for a barbecue I'm hosting tomorrow. But like a big dummy, I recorded it and then noticed afterwards that I was recording in slow motion mode which apparently doesn't capture the audio. I'm actually like retrospectively narrating this video so I'm now sitting at home but I'm going to talk to you about the supermarket. I did this video because I really think that the selection of vegetarian and vegan products, food products in Israel is really, really good. And I've talked plenty about stuff I don't like in Israel on this, living in Israel on this YouTube channel. When there's stuff that I do like, I definitely try to highlight it and I think this is something Israel does really well is because there's a high density of vegan people who keep a vegan diet and vegetarian as well. So what I wanted to do here was basically show the selection of food in my local supermarket, vegetarian food specifically. The supermarket's a place called Shufrasal and it's one of the national chains of supermarkets in Israel, like the biggest one. The other one's a place called Rami Lavi. But this is Shufrasal, probably fair to say they're the most technologically advanced of the supermarkets in Israel. They have a self-checkout feature. So this is my little attempt to show you guys what kind of products they have. So this is a range called Tabool. And it's one of the, so this is here it says in the packaging in Hebrew, Shnitzel kovit kov in Hebrew is a cabbage. That's why you see cabbage on the product photograph and some onions. So you can see I'm very gently handling their products. This says here burger Simchoni. I'm just going to assume people don't know Hebrew because why else are you watching this video? So burgers Simchoni is veggie burger and this says here in Hebrew, 14 grams or protein per serving. And you get four servings in that. Now I show the prices later. You can see how much they cost. So this is potato, sorry, but potato is sweet potato. And they have a picture of a carrot too. So it's like a mixture of these two. So I don't know. I mean, I think the point I was trying to make in this video, I kept vegetarian for a few years in Ireland because I was inspired to keep kosher. And there's not really any kosher food in Cork in Ireland. So I know vegetarian food pretty well. And I don't recall there being anything like this kind of a variety of a selection. It's really impressive. So here's another one. This one, the packaging in Hebrew says it's vegetarian meatballs. And here on the left, these aren't really a big thing in Israel. The things you see in Ireland like supermarket meals. This here is shawarma Simchoni. So it's like a veggie equivalent of shawarma, vegan friendly. By the way, another reason I make these videos is because before I moved to Israel, I had only, I hadn't been in Israel in five years prior. So I had all these irrational fears like could you guess? Brown bread? Could you guess? Blah, blah, blah. So I make these videos in case anyone is vegan, vegetarian, wants to make aliyah. I want to just provide some reassurance that like all this stuff is available here. Moving on to the next part of the supermarket. This is, this has in Hebrew, means corn snacks. So it's like corn nuggets. And here's where I show the pricing. So like you can see 30 shackles. You can run the conversion to your local currency today because it always is going to change a course. It's like eight bucks. Not super cheap, but look, nothing in Israel is cheap unfortunately at the moment. Here we have another product line, plant-based wonder foods, sausages and burgers and stuff like that. So like there's a decent, there's like a few different, here's some more very tender gentle handling on my part, putting into my supermarket. Oh, I was super psyched to see these. Shufasal is have their own food range now. So that's the logo on the top. And this says in Hebrew, katzitzot humus va affuna. Katzitzot are like patty's I guess is the best translation. And humus is chickpea. And affuna is pea. So these are chickpea and pea burgers. So I'm going to do a video later where I try to make them myself. It says in the Hebrew here that they're gluten free. So like I don't know. I think this is all really, really good, really positive that like there's an own brand vegetarian burgers in the supermarket. Now that's the end of like this vegan part of the supermarket. These are all regular schnitzels. And this is the like kind of deli meat and hummus aisle. So we're already back into the omnivore section, if you will. But that was basically what I found. Oh, that looks so lifelike. It's like you're shopping with me. So I continued my shop and I'm going to leave off here because like one more bit to this video. And I'm going to show you the other part of the veggie section. I mentioned earlier that that was just one half of the natural produce in choufousal. So this is the next part of it. It's called choufousal green. And it's this whole section of organic food. And so you can see there's granola, cereals, different types of milk. And then we also have another whole section full of stuff like, you know, seitan, tofu, vegan cheese. And more burgers and bolognese and stuff like that. So people probably wouldn't put me down as a vegetarian, but I actually lived predominantly off vegetarian food in Ireland for many years. So I know my way around a vegan food section. So you can see here we have more shawarma. This range of Teva deli, which is a national Israeli range. And Teva in Israel means natural. So they've got veggie burgers and tons and tons of different options with all these favorite Israeli food like schnitzelone burgers replicated in vegetarian and vegan-friendly formats.
