Falafel

Falafel is a famous Middle Eastern "fast meal" comprised of a chickpea (or fava bean) mixture, fresh herbs, and spices molded into little patties or balls. Falafel is claimed to have originated in Egypt, where Coptic Christians were looking for a robust meat substitute during extended periods of fasting during lent. In Egypt and the Middle East, it has also become a popular vegan dish.

Falafel is the people's daily chow in Egypt, and street sellers can be seen selling it in practically every neighborhood. It's frequently served as a sandwich with a hefty dollop of tahini and a mountain of Mediterranean salad, as well as slices of roasted or fried eggplant.
