When's the last time you had a nice falafel sandwich?

>> No.6760759

Sorta kinda last weekend?
I made something like falafel last Saturday or Sunday, but isn't strictly falafel. I guess you could call it "white bean falafel," if you'd like.

Why would I do that when I could have lamb

Never. I don't know if I've just never had a good falafel or if it's just not for me. I have heard that the ones in Egypt taste a lot different, though - I'd like to try those.

It's been awhile. I used to make them all the time.

I'd eat at McDonald's once a week if they brought their (failed) falafel sandwich stateside. Pic related. You can find the complete sandwich on Google Images.

Americans are so progressive when it comes to faggots and niggers, but we somehow are slow to adopt new foods. I don't get it.

Gay marriage happened before the McFalafel. Nevar forget.

Prior to the mass revolutions in Europe in the mid 1800s, the majority of nations in the area were absolute monarchies. Most established governments in Europe today are only about 150 years old, actually.

I think the only governments in Europe older than the US are Switzerland (fuckyeahswitzerland), GB, San Marino and Liechtenstein. There may be others, but I doubt it.
France is also younger than the US, but only barely.
Even China and Japan are younger as the revolutions in China overthrew their older government and the Diet is only about a hundred years old.

If we're allowed to bring up autonomous protectorates, then Iceland might count as being older because the Althing is over a thousand years old, even though Iceland was under Denmark, Norway and Sweden at various points in its history. Also the Isle of Man's Tynwald, which though younger than the Althing, is the longest continually existing government on earth, even if the Isle is under GB currently.

Once a week at least. I live near tons of great felafel shops, so when I need a quick bite of the go it's a no brainer. A cheap one is still better than a cheap burger, and some of the more upscale examples are downright stunning. Especially when they put pickles in the sandwich, and the hot sauce is fierce.

putting falafel in a sandwich always seems redundant to me. maybe it's a yuro thing where they're already used to eating french fry sandwiches.

Falafel in a sandwich is very common in the US as well. It makes it an easy-to-eat street food, keeping your hands clean and requiring no eating utensils, and lets you combine some veggies/pickles and other flavors (typically tahini or hummos) with it in a single dish.

While both are fried, french fries are typically bland and starchy, and falafel sandwiches usually use a very thin pita for bread.

In Manhattan they were eating felafel sandwiches before they even had a McDonald's. It's a very common New York fast food item.

Pic related may not be the best, but it is the original for NYC.

Flyovers are slow to adopt...McD's has a fairly consistent national menu, so it needs to appeal to the least culinary enlightened tastes.

Plus many Americans are reluctant to eat a meal without meat. It's kind of like gay marriage legalization could turn them gay, meals without meat could turn them vegetarian, which is nearly as heretical as homosexuality.

That would be rednecks, who also tend to have a prejudice against anything associated with the Middle East, because that's where their slack jawed kids go to blow stuff up.

This is kind of true. When I lived in Kansas City, I found a great falafel / middle eastern place in the city market called Habashi House. One nice spring day, I suggested to my coworkers that we all eat there for our monthly team lunch.

FOUR of them were so scared to try the food that they opted for the burrito joint next door instead. I'd never seen anything like that before.

Dude really? They may be picky fucks, but maybe they just didn't trust you not to ruin their monthly get-together.

>> No.6765205

>>6764890

Are you fucking kidding? If they didn't like it they could still just go to the burrito place right next door. And there's always next month's team lunch.

There is quite simply no excuse for being that timid about food when you are a working adult.
