Delicious and crispy, falafel is a staple dish food lovers all over the Arab world enjoy. This popular traditional, street food can be enjoyed any time of day, and it definitely won't break the bank.
We take our falafel seriously.
1. The way white people say falafel
I am falafel, the king of thy kitchen!
Pronounce it right, or don't pronounce it at all.
2. Seeing tourists having it with a fork!
There shall be no fork before me.
See this cute little man?
This is how you eat falafel :)
3. Hearing someone say: Falafel Burgers!
What the heck dude?!
There are no likenesses. None at all.
4. Did you just call our falafel terrorist food?!
Have some respect!
5. Well to be fair, we have napalm and rocket sandwiches
But they are just extra spicy falafel wraps with some eggplants, eggs, fries, salad, and pickles.
It's just a name and they are completely harmless... but they will make you want to take the rest of the day off ;)
6. Speaking of which, don't you DARE put mayonnaise or ketchup on falafel
This is culinary heresy!
It's Tahini, hummus, or yogurt!
7. We know burger buns are cute and all .... but they are not for falafel!
8. Restaurants using google translate for their menus
We don't have a problem, you have a problem.
9. Clueless cooking shows presenters calling it "authentic" Israeli food!
All due respect sir, but our falafel recipes from Egypt and the Levant are both older than Israel!
Seriously, don't bear false witness.
