You’ve got these big fucking golf ball sized pucks of chickpea nugget and you’re supposed to put them in a pita or tortilla and eat them? And people… like that? These big fucking balls in your wrap? That you can fit like… three of?

I keep thinking they would be almost infinitely better fried and chopped up and then used as a filling but I also keep thinking if I do that it’ll be some White Person Shit i’ll get made fun of for like crushing ramen noodles so i can eat them with a spoon

    big fucking golf ball sized pucks of chickpea nugget

    They’re soft. They crumble when you bit into them, or just wehen it’s being wrapped. And they’re seasoned beautifully all the way through, it’s not like a nugget where it just tastes like chicken + the little bit of crust.

    and you’re supposed to put them in a pita or tortilla and eat them?

    Lavash bread is the way to go. And it’s accompanied with veggies, yogurt, hummus, other sauces or fun things. Pita is OK but you can’t load it as much as you can with lavash bread. Pita can be kinda dry imo. I guess a flour tortilla would be similar to Lavash texture and might be ok? I’d get a bit of a char on flour tortillas before wrapping, to try to get it more lavash-y

    The falafal is already fried and kinda crumbles into all the other ingredients in the wrap. It’s soft with a little crunchy layer

    I’m talking like an authority, but I’m mostly basing it on a local place I grew up with (in the us). I think they’re syrian, but they’ve been here for decades (i hear the the wraps were the same in the 80s)
