Caught a bit of a cooking (cookery, for the Brits) show. Set in what seems to be a kitchen on an organic farm someplace out in the hills, raining. The host has a serious thing for leeks, at least in this episode. Makes leek chicken soup, then announces that he's going to do challot with leeks. He and the guy who runs the farm start kneading the dough.
Again, translating from the Hebrew:
Farmer: "Ah, challot. My mother is a da'atiyah [religious] and makes challot every Friday. I love challot."
Host: "Really? I didn't know you were raised religious."
Farmer: "I'm still a ma'amin [believer]. Just without a kipah."
Host and farmer then go off for a while in a discussion of religion, how religious each is despite not having the visible signs, how much they appreciate the religion and traditions...and then, after a few minutes, the host seems to suddenly remember he's on a cooking show:
Host: "Well, in any event, we're doing the leeks now..."
A nice little moment. The challot looked yummy, by the way. They should have smell-o-visions for those shows, and I see an Israeli company is developing one for cellphones, as it happens.
