Falafel was pinched from <a href="http://mideastfood.about.com/od/maindishes/r/falafelrecipe.htm" target="_blank">mideastfood.about.com.</a>

"Falafel is very popular in the Middle East as a fast food. Vendors sell it on the street corners in Cairo. As a main dish, it is served as a sandwich, stuffed in pita bread with lettuce, tomatoes, and tahini. As an appetizer, it is served on a salad, or with hummus and tahini. Falafel is a favorite among vegetarians. In Egypt, McDonald's has their version of a falafel sandwich. Can you guess the name? McFalafel, of course. No time to make your own falafel?
