Question: When was Israeli fusion cuisine first developed?

Answer: 1948

Israeli cuisine includes local dishes as well as dishes brought to the country by Jewish immigrants from the diaspora. <hl> Since the establishment of the State in 1948 , and particularly since the late 1970s, an Israeli fusion cuisine has developed. <hl> Roughly half of the Israeli-Jewish population attests to keeping kosher at home. Kosher restaurants, though rare in the 1960s, make up around 25% of the total as of 2015[update], perhaps reflecting the largely secular values of those who dine out. Hotel restaurants are much more likely to serve kosher food. The non-kosher retail market was traditionally sparse, but grew rapidly and considerably following the influx of immigrants from Eastern Europe and Russia during the 1990s. Together with non-kosher fish, rabbits and ostriches, pork—often called "white meat" in Israel—is produced and consumed, though it is forbidden by both Judaism and Islam.
