what are you having?

there's this place called the "falafel palace" around the corner from Erin, every time we pass it, I have to say it out loud cause it's just funny to say.

That's awesome.

We have a "falafel king" here, which always makes me giggle. I really wish there were a burger king across the street.
But tonight's falafel came from the greek deli on my corner.

I do! Falafel Palace rocks! They make excellent baklava too.

I LOVE falafel! I made some last week for dinner, and luckily my family thought it looked too weird to eat. All the more for me!

mmm this place by my work has delicious avocado falafels

When I cook this, I've accidently made a vegetarian meal. It's so yummy and filling. Easy to make at home. There's a variety of ways to make falafal.
Turkish: broad beans, cumin, chili, baking soda,onion, garlic,cilantro scallions,parsley,salt and pepper, and oil for frying.
Armenian:bulgar, bread crumbs, lentils(optional), garbonzo beans, parsley lemon juice, garlic, cilantro, cumin, salt and pepper, oil for frying.
You just throw everything in a blender and make patties or balls and fry. I prefer olive oil.
OR if you don't cook much there's always the boxed stuff, which isn't too bad, where you just add water. I've used a Lebanese brand, Alwadi Alakhdar falafel mix.
Must have pita, cucumber and yogurt, preferably the thick type from middle eastern stores.

I love Arabian food although falafel can I find be a bit dry. I´d love to go to the Middle East, before it´s too late.

Yum..I am hungry...

Remember the Armenian resteraunt Carrie? Im sure I took you there in Manchester. ´Robert De Niro´ served I recall!

TRIED IT, AND FELL I LOVE WITH IT

Some had to do it

I haven't eaten yet, but I have some chicken fingers, Cheez-Its, and sugar cookies.

Not really. That's why I like the patties. Then you put yogurt in the pita on top of the falafel. Maybe yours was over cooked? All you need is the outside to be crispy. You could eat the stuff raw. With Meze, (appetizers), the dishes are similar for dipping pita bread. Ground chickpeas, cumin, tahini, all blended and served or pureed broad beans with spices. None of which are cooked. It doesn't need to be fried long.

I had a couple of pieces of an Amy's frozen organic pizza.

But, falafel is the BEST

Somewhere outside of Boston I saw a sign for "Finagel a Bagel"

My friend and I said that over and over

We decided it must be a code for anal sex

I like falafel. My former lebanese neighbour would make it and hers was

CarrieMpls said:

Oh wow, an Armenian restaurant? I would love to try such a place, since I'm half Armenian (on my dad's side).

You could always come to the Manchester party in September and go in the meantime!

JDInteractive said:

I would love to come to Manchester, but I'm not sure that's going to be doable this year. I need to find a Middle Eastern restaurant somewhere around here.

I do!

OMG, falafel.

I think I'm having canned soup for dinner when I get home from school. I sure wish I were having falafel.

Maybe tomorrow.

falafel is the bestestest! i love it in a pita with lotsa cucumber sauce and a bit of hot sauce, and if i get a side of grape leaves with it, i'm in heaven.
