Already about two weeks ago, after a blind tasting of no less than 20 types of donuts, we ranked our TOP 10 parade, which had particularly surprising results.
But alongside the winners who have entered the top ten, the current Hanukkah holiday offers a variety of exaggerations, surprising creations and of course culinary abundance.
This is a lot of information that we did not want to leave you on holiday without, so here is everything that did not enter our parade.
Ice cream parlors, desserts in restaurants and a kind of alternative parade.
Appetite!
Who needs dessert?
Planning to blush a donut after your shawarma?
There is no need.
Just fill your round fried pastry with roast meat and close interest.
The "Meal in a Donut" series of the Hummus Yosef chain completely changes the rules of the game with hybrids between donuts and dishes that are usually found in style restaurants, and the results, well, will not leave you indifferent.
In Sufshawarma, for example, you will find shawarma, tahini, ambala and tomato, while in Sufshakshuka you will deal with shakshuka, tahini, salad and parsley.
And there are also soupbih and soufflé on the same principle.
The price of the meals (in donuts, yes?) Is NIS 29-21, and they will be served until December 8.

What is it frozen on the outside, comes on a stick, starts with S and with jam on the inside? Paltas' supagnetas, the handmade natural popsicles, are back this year as well.

Hanukkah for carnivores,
if they are already rioting, then to the end: this year, too, the festive, corrupt and exaggerated special dishes of the Gordos chain, which has branches in Herzliya and Holon, do not take prisoners.
In the main, among other things, you will find the hamburger - a hamburger dish with two patties, a pair of pancakes and goose breast (NIS 78), and if you happen to have room for dessert, you can get off on a "small jug" - a huge Nutella milkshake with chocolate donut and Ferrero Rocher (NIS 54 ), Or sip leisurely from "Stirring in Chocolate" - a huge hot chocolate with whipped cream, marshmallows and choruses (NIS 39).
Shaw blessing.
