Falafel is actually really good if it's done right. Most falafel in the US is fucking horrible, I never liked it until I had it at an Egyptian restaurant in the UAE.

Israelis also make a pretty good falafel, of course if you ask them they'll claim they invented it.

Egypt probably had the worst food of any country I've been to, and I've been to fucking Botswana.
