Bourekas

• So where do you buy the best (in my opinion) bourekasim?
• The shop is on Mahaneh Yehuda Street, which is the uncovered part of the shouk. It is close to Agrippas Street between two shops selling nuts and dried fruit and across from another.
• Bourekas is what they do -- filled with spinach or mushrooms or various types of white cheese (http://jerusalemblog.blogspot.com/2006/11/dairy-products.html ). They also bake an unfilled, pritzel-shaped variety. This the will split and spread with fresh white cheese. If you eat there, at the counter along the wall or at one of the small tables out front, they may put a slow-cooked egg and a pickle on your wooden plate. If that's what you want, point at the picture hanging from the ceiling near the cash register.
• The best, I say, but there's a place on Rehov HaNeviim I want to try.
