I spent four days in Eilat in Israel and one evening I visited the Ice Mall downtown.
The Ice Mall is famous for having an ice ring in the middle of the building, surrounded
by shops on two floors.
I've never seen anything like this before – outside it was sweltering heat but inside
it was bright, cool and airy.
As I went upstairs on the escalator I felt mesmerized by all the lights, smells and just
the general feel of the place.
It was 25 degrees inside, the perfect temperature for shopping and ice skating – I was super impressed.
As I was walking around upstairs I bumped into Yehuda, a vegetable slicer sales man.
He was so outgoing and energetic I had to stop to watch him sell his ware.
I nearly even bought one!
He was super good at it and the action completely drew me in.
After seeing him sell his slicers we started to chat.
I asked if he has ever eaten at the kosher McDonalds and he told me that he only ever
eats there because he is an observant Jew.
I decided to ask him to come with me the following day to test whether the kosher Big Mac tastes
any different from the non-kosher and he said yes!
So the next morning we met up again and went around to both Mcdonald's restaurants.
My name is Judah and I am Jewish, I am not eating not kosher I am eating just kosher
and I am eating at McDonalds but when I am eating at McDonalds I only eat at Kosher McDonalds.
At not kosher I am not eating and I think it's same tasting – because I don't know but
I think this is meat, this is meat and it is same tasty – I don't know but I don't
think it is different.
Have you ever eating in the normal McDonalds?
No, I've never eaten in not Kosher Mcdonalds.
I don't ever eat in normal McDonalds I only eat in kosher.
Well how do you know then that there is no taste difference?
Because I think this is meat, this is meat – if you do not take cheese inside it is
not going to have a different taste.
Well, tomorrow I am going to find out if there is a difference in taste because I am going
to eat in the real McDonalds and the kosher McDonalds there.
So there is the kosher McDonalds behind Yehuda and the normal McDonalds just down there.
And this is his shop selling vegetable cutters.
I am back in the Ice Mall in Eilat and I am going to test the normal McDonalds and then
the kosher McDonalds and see if there is a taste difference.
I think all my life I wanted to taste the hamburger and cheese inside – I know because
hamburger is delicious cheese is very delicious, I think delicious and delicious together is
VERY VERY delicious.
So I want to check this but I can't because I am Jewish and I have masorit, it's called
in Hebrew in Israel it's Masorit – actually I don't know how to say this in English
– OK, because it's in the Bible inside don't eat cheese inside a burger so I don't
eat.
Mitzvot – What?
A mitzvot.
– Yes, the mitzvoth, 613 mitzvot and one of the 613 mitzvot is you cannot cook meat
in its mother's milk.
So that is why kosher meat cannot be eaten with cheese.
That's why we have normal McDonalds and the Kosher McDonalds.
Ok, it's action?! Ok, hello my friends my name is Judah, again, and I am going to buy Big Mac Hamburger.
It's a kosher, it's kosher here because I said before I am Jewish and I am going buy a burger to sit in here
Big Mac – one burger – Big Mac – here we go – you don't want to change anything?
No, do you?
No, it's up to you.
OK, drink something?
Yes, of course, what would you like.
I would like orange maybe.
OK Here we go, small?
Do you like extra gerkhin?
What?
Cucumber…Cucumber?
Do you like extra?
What is a cucumber?
I'll show you…melafefon?
Yeah, I like it.
So put some extra then.
So orange juice, small one, yeah?
OK, whichever.
Ok, so let's put the extra gherking on. You know, the extra cucumber...
Just cucumber, right?
So next step, just cucumber. Yeah
I think you need to go to next here and then review this.
Well, I don't know, that's it
One second, I will ask him.
Ok that's it - you want to pay money or the card? OK, the card.
Amazing, I like this – there you go. You want to pay?
that's it. OK we are going to wait now.
Yeah and we will go over and wait for them to give you the food. Yes
This is my burger!
He is a famous vegetable sales man!
I asked him if he can cut the hamburger in half. Ah, alright!
He asked me if you are my friend
Haver sheli - haverim sheli!
You see here, it is Yehudat Kashrut in Hebrew
This is Yehudat Kashrut, it says it is kosher
He says here it is more delicious than in normal -so let's go and find out!
This is a cucumber - Ah that's a real cucumber! I wanted a gherkin! Never mind now!
Because I am Jewish I need to say Beracha, that is to thank G-d – yeah – in Hebrew
Baruch attah adonai, eloheinu melech ha'olam – ha motzi lechem, min ha'aretz.
Perfect, there you go – cheese!
It's normal burger – yeah – delicious.
Yeah, actually it tastes more like a burger
And I've even got a cucumber even though I asked for gherkins!
I didn't understand why you wanted a cucumber?
And the sauce also tastes the same
sorry yes, the whole point of this exercise is to find out if the kosher Big Mac
is the same taste as the other Big Mac. But it is pretty much the same.
Yes, there is no cheese in it either – but it's normal, it is kosher! Yes it is kosher and it is separated.
They've got a sign where they sell the milkshake and
it is separated by a door from the milk side so meat and milk don't mix.
Do you think the camera hear you? Yes!
So basically the uhm, the kosher Big Mac is the same taste as the normal one but
I will go downstairs and buy a normal Big Mac in a minute just to check.
Yuda is going to come down with me to find out if it tastes
any different but he is not going to try it – no – so I am just going to tell him about it.
So we are going to go downstairs now to eat in the other McDonalds.
You go first. I go first? Yes!
We are going to normal McDonalds to try but I am not going to eat – Yes…
But I am coming to be with you.
To check this because it is interesting – I like it!
And I will get my extra gherkins this time not the cucumbers!
oooh I have a lot of customer – ah you have a lot of customers…alright, one second!
Shalom Haverim! Katan, gadol? plastic?
Yehuda needs to sell some more of the vegetable slicers.
Take two, he's not sold that vegetable slicer but now we are going downstairs.
It's nice, because it's not normal. My work is normal – I come, work go home, it's the same.
Now you are coming it has changed today. OK?
Coming, eating, everything changing, it is different. You understand what I am saying?
Yes, it is a bit more varied, a bit of a variation.
It is here - you could hold it and record me doing it.
You want to take the microphone? No it is recording already.
So I am going to press the English button, eat in,
and then order a Big Mac,
customize now, I am going to customize it. And it is the same price as the kosher.
Normally the kosher is a bit more expensive. I don't know how they manage this here but it is the same price.
So basically I am just gonna get some extra pickles,
not gherkins or cucumbers, pickles but it doesn't matter.
And then confirm, and done, and pay.
with credit.
Right, here we go, go the ticket and
yeah just that's it perfect, we are gonna just pick it up now.
And, just interesting fact
I stayed at Beit Alpha kibbutz
last week and they grow the cows at Bet Alpha
and around that area for the hamburgers here.
it is a normal McDonalds – normal people. Normal McDonalds
Need to wait a little bit – and just gonna pick up. It is going to fill me up completely.
Ah, you have the number there – yeah you see there! Ah! We need to wait.
Do you ever eat in the kosher McDonalds upstairs?
No…why, you don't like kosher?
No, but I like how do you say, cheese. Ah you like cheese!
You see, I tell you, if no cheese inside it's not the same…
How much time you will be here?
Four more days. Four day?
Four Days? Yes.
Which hotel are you staying at?
On the beach - On the beach?
Yes - sleeping rough actually.
And from where are you? - Hungary
Why you don't stay in a hotel?
Oh well, it is more interesting sleeping on the beach!
Interesting?
Yeah - and it's free as well!
I got it
So let's sit down and try the real deal.
Sit here? Oh yeah, let's just sit here.
Somebody even left 20 cents, perfect - I keep it!
I think it's a, it's for the tip!
Ah, they give tip in McDonalds?
Nope!
Not sure!
so this is a real Big Mac – OK, it's not that the Big Mac upstairs in unreal –
but this is basically a regular thing
and it doesn't have cheese either.
It has got the Big Mac cream,
and the extra gherkin
so it should taste the same – let's find out!
hmmm…it is the same!
Is it the same? Yeah, it is the same taste!
You are just eating McDonalds like that. Just eating!
Yeah, just eating to taste it
But I thought the Big Mac should have cheese inside but it doesn't have cheese.
It is a burger.
Well, it is a burger!
and I say the meat is actually tastier here for some reason.
In England I stopped eating Big Mac
because I didn't like it, it was so dry.
It was too dry. - Really?
And here?
Here it is nice and juicy.
I have tested it now, I can tell it tastes completely the same.
And that pretty much concludes the test.
So thanks for watching and come back for more!
