Streetwise Hebrew #263 Does It Come with a Side Dish?
Ok, so you know how to order schnitzel in an Israeli restaurant. But what about asking for an extra plate? For a non-spicy dish? Extra parsley? Or maybe you need to notify the kitchen of a food allergy.
This is serious stuff. Guy delivers the #Hebrew language goods on this week's episode.
