What's a Sabra?
Mar 25 '01
The Bottom Line 4 Sabras uncovered.
There is not just one Sabra. Here are a few that you might want to know about. As to what you SHOULD know about Sabra, I will not presume to say.
1) Sabra Chocolate Orange Liqueur
I've already written an opinion about Sabra Chocolate Orange Liqueur and even revised it. It's at: http://www.epinions.com/fddk-review-13B3-E3254B6-39FD80DD-prod2. If you want more information about that Sabra, check there.
That, however, is not the only sabra. Here is some advice about other sabras you should know about:
2) Princess Sabra
According to legend, there once was a dragon in a far off land. He was so huge and powerful that he could down a bear with a single swipe of his claws. Every year, the people of this pagan land would offer the dragon a young virgin to prevent his coming and destroying them. One year, the job of virginal victim fell upon the king's daughter, Princess Sabra.
She was saved by St. George who wounded the awful beast with his mighty sword, Ascalon. The princess took the wounded dragon, wrapped her sash around it, and led it back to the village. There, St. George finished off the dragon with a single blow (sort of like loosening the jar and mayonnaise when no one is looking, only to open it with ease...at least imho.) You can find two very nice pictures of Princess Sabra on line at: http://sunsite.dk/cgfa/burne/p-burne20.htm (The Princess Sabra led to the Dragon) and at:

3) Sabra Fruit is the fruit of the prickly pear cactus. This plant grows extensively in Israel. The fruit has a thick skin on the outside with lots of prickles and spines. The fruit on the inside is soft and sweet and very yummy.
Israeli natives are often referred to as Sabras because they tend to be outwardly tough, but once you get to know them, they are very sweet people. You can find a picture of a sabra plant as well as more information about it at:

4) Sabra is a marvel comic character who sometimes has been pitted against the Incredible Hulk. Her real name is Ruth Bat-Seraph. She is a member of the Israeli Super Soldiers. Sabra can lift 50 tons and can fly with the use of her cape. She can shoot energy quilts that paralyze her victims. I found information about this Sabra at: http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/2855/sabra.html which includes much more information and pictures.
And now you know all you need to know about Sabra.
