Why Italians Avoid Raw Fish: Food Preferences, Culture and Science Explored

The text presents a bundle of Hebrew lifestyle and opinion pieces, led by an article asking why Italians do not like eating raw fish, despite the popularity of crudo, which in Italian can also refer to cured meats such as prosciutto. It also points readers to a science explainer on why tahini behaves so strangely in the kitchen and to a photo book about an ingredient often considered among the world’s most reviled foods, yet still widely ordered in New York even though it costs about twice as much as salmon.

Other featured items include a piece on a nutrient that people commonly neglect, although it may help prolong life, and a sponsored post about choosing coffee, presented by Fresh Coffee. The page then shifts into commentary and opinion, including analysis by Zvi Bar'el arguing that Recep Tayyip Erdogan has drawn a Middle East map in which Israel is the main threat.

Another opinion item by Zvi Bar'el says no world leader has been treated as disrespectfully by Donald Trump. Additional columns discuss the emotional strain of loving someone divided by an ideological abyss, a music recommendation from Niv Hadash, a piece by Ran Levi Talbi about genocide and the search for bodies to prove it to the world, and a personal story by Talia Benon Tzur about her partner’s interest in Russian women.
