Jerusalem of Gold ... Loaves

In fact, if there is anything I would happily fire up my Tardis and shop in Jerusalem for, it's the baked goods.  Most tourists become familiar with these sesame ring breads, sold on the street all over Jerusalem. 

Here's some vendors working the Jaffa Gate in front of the so-called Tower of David.

If you want quality, however, find one of the many bakeries in the Old or New Cities.   Look for one which is busy and selling out of stuff.  You can get various Arab flatbreads ...

... or more European breads.   They'll all be delicious.

As in Europe, here pastry bakers are different establishments from bread bakers.  You want to try everything.  Sweet pastries are often filled with chocolate, poppy seeds, sweet cheese, or cinnamon and spices.  Savory pastries are filled with cheese, potato, mushooms, eggplant and other things.  They're hard to tell apart, so buy a bunch and taste them all.
