What is it exactly. I've heard the name but never seen any.

Falafel is on the menu in my house about once a week.
Dig it.

Absolutely love falafel. There's an incredible Lebanese joint 2 min down the road from me. Incredible falafels, along with the best tabouli in town.
Making me hungry just writing this.....

Love falafel. Kinda surprised so many of you guys are unfamiliar. It's a middle eastern and mediterranean deal, little fried balls of ground up
garbanzo beans and spices. Most places serve it wrapped in a pita with lettuce, tomato and tatziki sauce, which is a delicious yogurt based sauce.
There's actually an awesome Egyptian place here in town that has family recipes from the owner's family from Egypt and they make some amazing falafel.

i never get tired of falafels!!!

This inspired me today, got a veggie platter from the place I mentioned in here yesterday. The platter includes three falafel balls, fresh made pita,
two dolmas (fucking love dolmas) tabouli, hummus, feta, marinated eggplant, olives, and some lettuce and tomato. Exactly what I needed today.

my kinds think baba ganoush is the funniest thing ever.
tireironsaint - 8-13-2010 at 12:49 AM
Fell in love with baba ganoush when I worked in a jewish deli. When it's done right, that shit is amazing, when it's done wrong it tastes, looks, and
feels like cardboard that's been soaked in dirty rainwater for a week.

didn't get falafel last night....bummed.

Falafal is awesome. Greek restaurant called Aladdins brings it with that stuff. So good.
