What Kim and Kanye ate in Jerusalem (Polenta, lamb risotto and more)

An ultra-Orthodox Israeli paper is getting some major international side-eye for cropping Kim Kardashian out of a photo in which she appears with Kanye West and Jerusalem mayor Nir Barkat at an Israeli restaurant. Well, not so much cropping out as replacing her with a receipt of their meal:

It’s not uncommon for religious outlets to remove women from photos — another site, Hamevaser, photoshopped German Chancellor Angela Merkel out of a photo back in January. In that case, you wouldn’t know Merkel was there if you just glanced at the photo. This one’s a tad more suspicious.

The not-so-subtle receipt placement makes (slightly) more sense in the context of the story which is, basically, about the receipt. The article takes issue with Barkat’s sharing a meal at the non-Kosher establishment (he says he didn’t partake in non-Kosher items). Anyway! The close-up of the receipt offers us the opportunity to find out how the golden couple dines abroad.

Some translating and a bit of cross-referencing with the restaurant’s menu reveals much. Like lots of wine. And a hamburger. Here’s as much of the itemized list as we could make out:

– Coke

– Fish carpaccio

– Artichoke
