The first time I heard the word falafel was on an episode of Friends. Ross was said to look like the falafel guy. Falafel comes from the Middle East and is a dish of spiced mashed chickpeas formed into balls or fritters. They are deep-fried and usually eaten in or with pitta bread. I’d tried chickpeas before and I love hummus but hadn’t tried a falafel.
I’d heard of Umi and knew they were a falafel chain in Ireland. I walk past it a lot when I’m in Cork City. It was about time I said yes to a falafel…
