karmatornado said:

i am so jealous of you right now! you need a pickle with that to

brownsugar said:

A pickle on the side, not in the sandwhich. But only a sour pickle!

karmatornado said:

oh of course on the side. sour, cold and crunchy

brownsugar said:

They do taste good cut into very thin slices on top of a falafel though. With a few little bits of chili on top too.

Fauxie said:

Whats falafle. NEver heard of it?

karmatornado said:

The ones I get are more stuffed though - with a humus paste lining the inside, some shredded lettuce, tomato, grilled chicken, sliced pickle and a sprinkling of chili. They've become so popular in Khao San Road, and there's so much competition, that you can now get 2 for $1.50!

...

Wait, it seems falafels are actually some kind of meatball or something often put in a wrap like that one above. Oh well, not sure what the chicken wrap is called exactly. With the humus (sp?) and sometimes a dressing it has a middle eastern flavour to it.

looks tasty!

Fauxie said:

usually falafels are filled with i think lettuce, tomatoes and cheese but instead of meat it chickpeas and something else(can't remember) that is spicy and meatless-its quite tasty i havent had one in awhile.

So now they have falafel on Khao San Rd. ?

In Thailand, of all places ? Interesting. I ate all kinds of food there but didn´t see falafel. The actual falafel is not the whole pitabread sandwich but the little golfball sized vegetarian "meatballs" inside the pitabread. They´re made of chickpeas and I think a bit of lentil flour but I´m not sure about the latter.
You´re right about the hummus though, sesame paste with chickpea paste....very healthy and nutritious...Prince eats that stuff too, with pita bread..put some lemon juice and olive oil into it for a better taste.

Falafel is from the Palestine / Israel region but over here in Europe there are also other ethinc groups who sell it ( and eat it ), like Turks, Greeks, Egyptians etc. but I think it´s actually Arabic or Jewish food.

There are quite a few Israelis on Khao San, that might be one explanation how falafel went there.
Interesting.

Yep, the stands started popping up about 6 months or so ago. First they'd sell you one for 60 baht, but as more stands started up, they reduced their prices so that now you can get 2 for that price. It's kinda the late night food of choice now for those spilling out of the bars. They don't put the falafel in there, just grilled chicken, lettuce, sometimes tomato and the hummus. There's still a little middle-eastern flavour about it though, from the hummus and another paste or dressing that I think is in there. They're very good.
