Georgey Guest	# Posted: 29 Nov 2005 10:43:01 I've been travelling in India for nearly 6 months now and everywhere I go restaurants serve an ice-cream based dessert called 'Hello to the Queen' and claim that it is an Israeli dish. I've asked virtually every Israeli that I have met about it and they all claim that it is not Israeli. Can anyone enlighten me on the origins of this dish. At the moment my best guess is that it is an extraordinarily succesfull hoax perpetrated by (possibly stoned) Israeli backpackers.

You go to the toilet, or throne room,so euphemistically "say hello to the queen". Now, take a jaded look at the delicious dessert,all that Nutella mixed in... Oh dear,sorry - It'll never taste good again, will it! Cary
emily loves india Member United States of America	# Posted: 12 Jan 2010 12:05:27 Hi guys... the story that I was told by several different people (and therefore assume to be true) is that it is not an Isreali dish as such, but that some Israeli travellers inadvertantly invented it... The story goes that a couple of Israeli travelers were stoned and starving, so they went to a restaurant in search o something sweet. They asked what was on offer, the waiter told them, and they enthusiastically told him to bring them everything. So he made a sort of sundae out of everything they had... ice cream, chocolate sauce, bananas, buscuits (and maybe nuts too>? I can't remember if it has nuts in or not?) Anyway, when he brought out his creation, the two ravenous Israelis were so impressed that they said "Shalom Malaka!" which means "Hello to the queen!", and the name stuck and spread.
