THE P-C AFFAIR Pita and Cheese (P-C) - that’s what Israel means to me. Sounds strange? Not to any student who has lived in Israel for more than a week. The first shopping trip is the beginning of this pita and cheese indoctrination. At the sight of eight long rows of unfamiliar food, written up in somewhat foreign Hebrew script, the OYP student balks and runs for familiar territory. The pita bag is clear with no writing and the cheese is easily recognizable as well. True, things other than cheese could be stuffed in the pita, but the OYPer wanders through the rows of brightly packaged items with pictures of beaming kibbutznikim and rejects them all on the basis of fear. However, as he passes through the dairy section, he sees a flash of yellow through the clear plastic. Yes, it’s the yellow hard cheese. Why does he choose that particular cheese? Not because it has the perfect consistency to melt right into pita, but because it is the only one that doesn’t have an opaque wrapping. After this first experiment, the student proudly carries back his conquest and views himself as the first real pioneer to make an “almost” grilled cheese sandwich. However, after the initial exhili,ration of cooking a hot meal (instead of cold humus or fruit) wears off, disappointment at the limitations of the cheese filling sets in. He tries to be imaginative. He tries different aesthetic options: pita'with cheese on top, pita with cheese on bottom, cheese surrounding pita, and, if he’s very adventurous, pita with cheese and some tomatoes and cucumbers (other basic Israeli staples which need a tribute of their own). But nothing works, the pita is still pita, the cheese is still cheese and the taste is still the same. Yes, he starts to loathe pita and cheese. The very sight of it causes him to tremble with frustration and longing for a thick steak dinner (Charthouse perhaps?). So why doesn’t he eat something else? It is an inexpicable cultural phenomenon that drives him back to the bread and dairy section again and again, even after he understands the previously indecipherable package labeling. The force beckons him, till he can fight it no longer. He finds himself leaving the Supersol, every time, with pita and cheese quivering in his Eagle Sam Olympic grocery satchel! And as the months go by, the seasoned OYPer accepts P-C as part of his life. He stops fighting the urge and lets instinct take over completely. He eats P-C all the time. He eats it for breakfast, lunch, din - oh, excuse me, gotta go, my pita and cheese is burning! SIGAL GOLAND Pacific Palisades, Ca. 89
