You made a blog post about falafel and didn't contact me?!? That being said, spot on recipe. Sometimes we like to try correander (spelling?) instead of parsley to give it more zing. Furthermore, some place here also give the mix a squeeze of lemon! Lastly, no. No, this is not the national dish of Israel. It was actually an Egyptian dish that has spread across the Arab world (much like hummus and foul). That being said, Israel now likes to say that hummus and falafel are their national dishes, but historical evidence emphatically indicates otherwise. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falafel#History Enjoy this tasty dish with Hummus, a pickle, some tomato wrapped in pita bread for the authentic experience (you can also substitute hummus for tahini sauce for a more earthy taste). Jamie,

Mine weren't as pretty as yours, but I should have made a double batch because we were fighting over the last one. I'm making them again tonight :) I made these last week and they were a hit!
