Underrated IMO

Baked, not fried.

Didnt expect these early results

Fried >>>>>>> Baked

Fried taste better (obviously, like anything).... But for health reasons, the difference in taste doesn't make it worth it to me. I'd rather stick with baked.

 

[trogg78]

That depends. Chick peas or Garbonzo beans?

 

[jon_mx]

I am voting No just to side with the underdog. No way is this going to be the issue we all decide to agree upon.

ETA: 24-1 now

 

[the moops]

The American cheese folk must not have voted yet.

 

[Gr00vus]

Big fan. Needs to be fried though, baked can end up too dry.

 

[saintfool]

add some harissa sauce and it's perfect!

 

[higgins]

Yes, but I prefer shawarma... preferably lamb shawarma... with extra onions and tahini sauce... mmmm.

I'm not sure I've ever had it baked.

I have recipes at home for both though. I know the GF would prefer baked, maybe I'll make both one time and do a blind tasting.

Done.

Philly has a nice falafel place called Maoz. You basically just buy a falafel sandwich and then they have a toppings/sauce bar where you can add as much crap to it as you want. It's such a great deal because of all the additions.

Go get one and report back.

 

[tommyboy]

Lebonese is the best

 

[Soulfly3]

Literally the only thing I can tolerate replacing meat with

A good felafel is world class food territory

 

[Kumerica]

Eating falafel right now.

 

[trogg78]

Whats the difference?I'll tell you what the difference is...I wouldn't pay 200 bucks to have a Garbonzo bean on me.

thanks for stealing my joke

 

[pantagrapher]

Like to rub my lady's back with one in the shower.

I was shocked it was vegetarian.

If I could eat that every day I could live as a vegetarian.

Since I'm not Jewish or Arabic, can someone drop some knowledge on me as to what it is?

 

[Jules Winnfield]

For me, lamb anything is awesomeA lamb burger sounds so good right now

Love a good falafel from Mahmoun's and their hot sauce is fantastic. They've expanded out of the city in recent years (New Brunswick, Princeton, New Haven) and I wouldn't be surprised if they kept on going so some of you guys might get lucky one day.

I lived on falafel and shawarma back when I spent a couple weeks working in London, thanks to the rest of their food being so ####ty in general. A great middle eastern community though.

While falafel is great on its own, all those veggies you throw on top can really elevate it. Love anything pickled with it.

There's some seasoning thrown in there too. Almost as important is that you get a good pita - not too dry, not too fragile - and good toppings. Lettuce and tomato are the standards, I like some cucumber in there as well. And the key is the tahini sauce (a sesame seed based sauce).

 

[trogg78]

Tahini sauce is good, but I prefer the tzatziki.

 

[El Floppo]

and garlic

 

[Harry Manback]

I'm gonna make some tonight.

No pita, too lazy to go to store.

Gonna wing it with a tortilla...bad idea?

I'd prefer a hard roll over a tortilla

You are incorrect, sir.

 

[jon_mx]

Sounds like a code word for jihad to me. I want no part of it.
