Touch Food, or Lagaat Ba'ochel is a fantastic food shop near Raz's house. It's elegant and mouthwatering. I could wander around this store for ages, the displays are almost as delicious as the food that fills them.
looseleaf teas
Moroccan Rose Buds for tisane
Sugar in different forms. I've always been a sucker for cane sugar cubes. There's something so distinguished about them.
Peppercorns
Beautiful display
Chili, pepper, and paprika. On the floor you can also barley see the shadow of the store manager as he came to chew me out for taking pictures. All was well, I'd already gotten permission from another employee so he let me go about my business.
This machine is fantastic. Think Whole Foods peanut butter that you grind at the store, except with Tahini. Oh, yes... Tahini. The cone on top is filled with sesame seeds that feed down in between these two mill stones. I'm not sure if they let customers use it on their own, and after my brush with the manager I was shy about taking any more pictures much less pestering him about store details. In any case, I loved this.
Dried Ginger in it's various forms
Lovely dried fruit. The Banana chips on the first row are a personal favorite. Absolutely delicious!
This store is wonderful. The energy, the products, the displays, it all pulled me in and made me feel at home in a big luxurious kitchen with copious amounts of overpriced culinary gems. The store also has cooking courses, a bakery, a restaurant, and a Bedouin woman who sets up shop outside and makes enormous pitas and sells tabbouleh. It just about anything you could want, all I can say is אחלה (achla, means fantastic, or two thumbs up)!
