Adam stopped at the first sign of food near the Mount of Temptation. Here, Jesus fasted for forty days and forty nights while being tempted.

The restaurant Adam chose didn’t have a name but if I were to name it, “Choose Your Own Chicken” would have been fitting. Chickens rotated in an open-air roaster while other chickens walked outside the restaurant. We sat down to plates of peppercinis, onions, olives, humus, pita bread and sauces. The owner/cook/server poured water out of a 1.5-liter recycled cola bottle he used as a carafe. Adam mixed falafel with the fixings while I enjoyed my chicken. What appealed to me most was the taste of the food. In Israel everything tasted like cucumber. Here, chicken tasted like chicken.
