Anything not covered above probably belongs here!

Finland
Sweden
Denmark

I eat falafels quite seldom. I just forget falafels exists. (After reading that, some of you may attack, heh...) Still like falafels much. Travelling in Europe (for instance Belgium and Germany) next month so I hope I'll enjoy falafels during the trip at least - if not before.

Yes it does indeedy. I had falafel for lunch after a pretty good workout :D With leftover grilled aubergine, and some sautéed mushrooms and cherry tomatoes (tastier than it sounds... I add lots of pepper to pretty much everything) and some leftover green beans because eating stuff out of Tupperware is just so awesome.

Sounds good!

I've just had Falafel with rocket, lentils, cherry plum tomatoes and some balsamic vinegar & virgin olive oil as a dressing. Omomomomomomom! :D :D :D

I fear my falafel revolution may also have to wait.

I wonder how many kilos of falafel all the members of Vegan Fitness put together get through in a week...

Sounds like a fun experiment to me. :lol:

My falafel man today told me I'm the only custumer who he knows exactly what to make when I step into the door! :D Falafel FTW...

It's going to be so that in order to get the freshest falafel possible, you gargle boiling veg oil in your mouth and drop the uncooked falafels in, cooking them on site.... i bet that's it!

Either that or inside out falaflsl where you shape a massive falafel like a burrito and then put a couple croutons inside and wrap it up like that.

Or maybe drinkable falafel?!?! Sort of like Yop?

or maybe a VF Iron Chef - use falafel balls in a creative way, provide the recipe and vote on winners or something...

I have to test it out before I am willing to submit it for peer review.

Until then I'll just say that the recipe doesn't actually call for any falafel.

So it's like some kind of Zen falafel recipe?

In studying Falafel, you should not be swayed by taste and forms.

Even though you attain insight when eating a chickpea or seeing a falafel, this is simply the ordinary way of things.

Don't you know that the real Falafel student commands tastes, controls chickpeas and parsley, is clear-sighted at every event and free on every occasion?

Granted you are free, just tell me: Does the falafel come to the mouth or does the mouth go to the falafel?

If both chickpea and parsley die away, at such a juncture how could you talk of Falafel?

While tasting with your mouth, you cannot tell. When tasting with your eye, you are truly intimate.
