Falafel

Now, onto the topic at hand; Egyptian falafel, aka ‘taameyya’, aka the ORIGINAL falafel. Although there will always be some who disagree, it is generally agreed upon that falafel actually originated in Egypt, and date as far back as the pharaohs (or in another theory, created by Coptic Christians about 1,000 years ago as a vegan dish to eat during their strict stretches of fasting), before spreading on to reach most countries of the middle east and beyond.
