Every country I visit I like to go to a local bakery and see what types of products they have. The abundance of different and delicious sweet and savoury products always amazes and intrigues me. I have found that generally in hot countries they have mainly pastry products, such as, puff, filo, shortcrust, fried batter and yeast cakes with syrup. This of course makes sense as butter-creams and frostings wouldn’t stand the heat. Here are some of the delectable products I found in a bakery in Eilat, south Israel.
Fried batter syrup sweets
Yeast cake with syrup glaze

As much as I love bread I try to limit my intake. Lovely lovely pictures. I hope your travels are going smoothly
Love the hedline. Sounds very Graham Greene-ish. And I gained weight just looking at the picture.
Wow, what a selection! I hope you’re enjoying your trip; I’ve enjoyed some of the foodie sights vicariously, keep it coming!

Yum, as you say!
wow, absolute eyeball candy!! Being pretty well travelled in Europe but nowhere beyond I’ve only recently made the discovery of just how varied bakery goods can be – my newest local bakery is Asian and the stuff in there is incredible! Love your photos, really mouthwatering haha and those baklava look immense, hope you ate some!
It all looks so yummy! Wonderful pictures!
Beautiful pics and love seeing all these different pastries! Keep it up 🙂
They really take baking seriously in Israel 😉
What a fun post!! The pastries and breads look delectable and that baklava (is it baklava?) is droolworthy. Yummy yummy.
I can’t live without bread. Period!
Baklava is my single favourite baked food (sixth photo down)!
