"Falafel (Arabic ÙÙاÙÙ falaafil, Hebrew פ×××¤× falafel, also known in Egypt as طع٠ÙØ© ta`amiyya), is a fried ball or patty of spiced fava beans or chickpeas. It is a highly popular form of fast food in the Arab East. Falafel is very common in Greater Syria and it is the most popular daily food in Syria. Falafel is now also very common in Israel, being regarded there as a national food. The word "falafel" comes from the Arabic word ÙÙÙÙ (filfil), meaning pepper."

Falafel is a west Mediterranean meal of Arab origin.

they take ground chick peas and spices, put it in a ball, and fry it. Some are spicier than other. They usually serve them in a wrap with lettuce and a creamy sauce.....it's excellent
