| L'As Fallafel queue in the background |
Its baffling to me why Falafel is sold by Jews in Europe as an Israeli dish ? Specially that its well known that Falafel is intrinsically Middle Eastern! More specifically Palestinian, Lebanese and Egyptian! but then i remember that Palestine is entirely Sold to the world as Israeli, so it made more sense or lack there of!
L'As du fallafel is the most famous 'Israeli' falafel joint in Paris, i passed by it every day in my last trip there, as it was located right across the road from where I was staying. i had falafel my whole life so i wasn't interested a bet, despite the very long queue lines that suggested something special is served there! moreover, the fact that it was called Israeli made it even less interesting. But not until a friend had highly recommended it did i struggle to overcome the moral barrier and succumb to the curious foodie side of me and do it!
it was sold for 5 Euros/sandwich, 15 times more expensive than the best falafel in Kuwait! and it was served with a fork, which to me is like eating a hot dog with chop sticks! but it was big so its OK.
all'n'all it was a good old fashioned falafel sandwich, mainly because of it size and the chilli paste on top...
and there you have it .... !
