The Falafel was declared the national dish of Israël after the Second World War, which the Palestinians dispute as this originally Middle Eastern dish comes probably from the Copts, in Egypt.


Today the Falafel is eaten throughout Europe as Street Food, a vegetarian snack but you can also easily make it yourself.
