# Comments: this dish is a favorite among Arab immigrants.
# Falafel or "ta'amia" are patties made from dried beans, splendidly spiced, deep-fried, then eaten as a snack.
# These are traditionally served as a meat substitute and make a great sandwich.
# Fill pita bread with falafel, sliced tomatoes, sliced onion, lettuce and yogurt.
# Delicious!.
