Celebrating International Falafel Day

Fans of falafel will certainly be delighted to know that there is a day dedicated to this favourite chickpea treat. Every year on June 12th International Falafel Day is celebrated. Deep-fried and made of chickpeas or fava beans, this Middle Eastern food is often eaten wrapped up in a pita bread, or served with salad and sauces. This absolutely delicious snack is a favourite amongst non vegetarians and vegetarians alike.

While we do not know exactly where and when the concept of this day originated, this popular street food of the Middle East  is a favourite among foodies in Oman. If you missed celebrating the day yesterday, it’s never too late. Include falafel into your meals or try out the authentic falafel dishes in one of the restaurants in town. You can even try making them at home.
