Kitchen Notes: Lebanon and Israel in Food Fight over Falafel

Well, at least this new Lebanese-Israeli war doesn't involve actual bullets, but it's still acrimonious. Welcome to the Great Falafel War of 2008. The Lebanese seem to want a copyright for falafel, as the Greeks have one for feta cheese.

(Do you like falafel? I do, but it's terribly messy to eat in sandwich form. I always get tahini sauce and shredded lettuce all over me.)
