globalization rocks

okay it mostly doesnt if you happen to be in a poor country and are being exploited and all but in this instance as it is making my life better, i see it as a totally positive thing.

i love middle eastern food and had been jonesing for it a bit. there are all of these shawarma places who advertise that they have falafel then dash my hopes by telling me no. i found one with a fasting menu and it was a beautiful beautiful thing. i love the chick pea. aside from the soybean its like the most wonderful legume in the world. plus its got this totally cute shape and everything. i will take it in any prepared form - cause i just love it that much. and falafel - cute balls of mashed seasoned deepfried chickpea - its kinda like fried chicken for vegetarians.

so at the bestest shawarma restaurant in romania, got a ginormous falafel sandwich. my mouth was mostly in heaven bringing back warm memories of falafel had in the past. of course being romania there were slight differences.
1. cabbage instead of lettuce (as stated earlier huge cabbage fetish here)
2. mayo instead of tahina (have to say that tahina is just a bit tastier)
3. fries (a potato fetish)
4. they tried to put ketchup on it (ketchup fetish. this condiment is believed to go with everything), but i declined.

of course it was chickpea stuff, on pita and with kickass pickles. was yummy. now if only they delivered.
