Today on Google’s home page is an animated falafel. I’ll be honest, I am not personally a huge falafel fan and yes, I’ve had my share since I visit the middle east (Israel) every now and then. But for some reason, today, June 18th, Google decided to celebrate the food.

A falafel is a deep-fried ball, or a flat or doughnut-shaped patty, made from ground chickpeas, fava beans, or both. You then normally take those falafel balls, stick them in a pita bread with a tahini sauce, some chopped up salad and then other things like fries or other salads. It can get messy to put together and also eat if you are not a pro.
