My list of food to eat in England:
1) Indian
2) Hard Rock Café
Supposedly the first Hard Rock Café was started by two American expats who
missed real food.
There was one next to the WISPAmerica venue and while eating there, I learned
from Mike Falaschi that Hard Rock International is now owned by the Seminole
tribe. You don’t get more American than that! (I thought the food was quite
good. It was “painting night” though which was ... different. The female:male
ratio was about 10:1. I think I’m going to tell my son to get off the dating
sites and find a place that has a painting night.)

I like real North Atlantic Cod Fish (10 hours off the boat) and Chips served
in a newspaper.
I like mushy peas. And pasties and Cornish clotted cream on scones.
You gotta know what to ask for in England.
The Indian curry places are as numerous as American Chinese places too.
And of course everything my daughter cooks when I visit Cornwall.

I’ve only been to Israel once, long time ago, but the food was excellent.
Didn’t see hummus, falafel or matzo once. Never left Tel Aviv though. I was
there to kick the tires at Orckit Communications, looks like they still exist
under the same management, some ex military communications guys. Israel has
quite the military-industrial complex, quite the revolving door between
government and private enterprise in the communications space. At the time I
was told the best and brightest could go to university and then fulfill their
universal service by working as engineers for the government, then move into
industry.
Somehow I suspect the image of both Mexican and Middle Eastern food here in the
US is pretty much a cartoon stereotype. I will say however that I’ve been to
England and the food there is just as bad as its reputation. I will also say
the worst food on my trip to Israel was the Air France airplane food, which
seemed strange given the Mike Royko quote that the French had many faults but
they do know how to whip up a plate of grub.

Mr Hohhof, on that point I did not stutter. We do have a support center in
Mexico City. No problem with PR either.

How about Mexico or Cuba? Puerto Rico?

This Irish Catholic is not sure of that, but I can tell you that after
working for 3 different Israeli companies, they take better care of their
employees than any other employers I've had the experience working for. If you
value being left alone and treated with respect, and where family ALWAYS comes
first, you could do much worse.
