Falafel - Love it, Hate it, What *is* it?

[CathrynRose]

Tonight dinner is Falafel - and Im so VERY excited. I LOOOOVE Falafel!!

My husband still wont even look at it - wont try it - nothing. He wants a Gyros.

So - am I alone in my Falafel love?

My first Falafel was during a guided tour of Jerusalem in 2000. It was awesome, hard to believe it was completely vegetarian.

Never tried it before. Is it hot and spicy?

 

[Miss Jasmine]

Love, love, love me some falafel. Of course my ethnicity may have something to do with it. Give me any of that yummy Middle Eastern/Mediterranean foodstuff!

Not that spicy - very seasoned though. Depends on where you get it from. Im lucky to have 2 local places that really make phenomenal Falafel!

I don't have the ethnicity going for me, but me too! I love Mediterranean foods.

So do I. I can eat all of that every day. Though, shwarma reminds DH and I of our trip to Amsterdam.

Have you been to the Cedar Grill - Finley and Ogden?? OMGooooodness!

 

[Hedy]

Mmm...falafel. I'm envious of those of you with local places-our falafel is all at "nice" places.

The Fantastic mix is good, though.

 

[mommasita]

OMG this is fabulous. Just get the BIG pack of gum for after

 

[yasmina]

I love it...but it doesn't love me. I am extremely allergic to chick peas.

Not yet..but a friend of mine lost a bet to me and that is what I am going to ask for dinner (I won dinner) I actually almost took them there for another dinner we had..we went to Blu Coral (sp?) over at Seven Bridges instead. Also YUM!

Its not anything fancy - as far as winning a bet would go. It used to be Odie's - which was a hot dog place, to give you an idea.

I'd make him pay up bigger - and we'll hit Cedar Grill after we finish drinking at Suburbanite.

What suburb are you in?

I've heard the name but I've no idea what it is.
