Updated: Mar 24, 2020
Look, falafel is a seriously delicious dish which I would not want to taint by labelling this with the same name, I absolutely adore falafel and this burger is definitely inspired by it but FALAFEL IS FALAFEL and you can't jus throw that term around like confetti, so lets say this burger is inspired by falafel but not quite falafel š
