Falafel is easy to make if you use canned chickpeas and a blender to mush up the mixture. Not many ingredients in it. I like to make mine with garlic, but onion is good too. If the mixture is too thin to shape, you can a add a tiny bit of flour or a small amount of fine bread crumbs. Some like to thinly coat the patties or balls with flour before frying:

It is wonderful served with yogurt cucumber sauce (tzatziki). Some places add chopped mint or parsley as well to the sauce.

This sounds yummy reminds me of a cold cucumber soup we use to order at the Velvet Turtle here that closed!

Actually if you rolled smaller balls and fried them, I bet they'd hold up real good in a soup. Great idea Docster!!!

HEY JO,

i found falafel in one of the health food shops ,it is the same as u were suggesting the same box , it was 1,29 pence - it is all with natural ingredients without flour etc, omg it is very tasty - I made it myself second time adding whole loads of garlic, parsley and cilantro as they adviced on some you tube chanels - by the way I do not think is good idea to use anything canned , flour etc -
what I like about it is that u can always create diff. taste by adding diff spices etc or diff veggies to it - amazing and yes I love iT SO
TY JO YOU ROCK

great D!!

just adding chilli powder when mixing is cheap and helpful.
Also egg, onion, corriander...er combos are endless!! and to help stop them sticking to pan cover them in sesame seeds is a good one

I am not crazy about canned foods myself, but some members feel too sick to cook much so that might be the only easy option if no dried falafel mix is at hand. In the US some of the organic food companies can beans more carefully in specially lined cans (tins) so the metals will not leach into the food.

Feta cheese, tahini, greek olives and the tzatziki are all wonderful toppings for this food.

This is a like pasta balls made of grain, it has a good bit of protein, thus it is handy to keep the balance of carbs and protein correct.

sice I got morgs the food does not taste the same somehow everything is yucky dunno why - what i like about falafel is that strong spices in it eradicate that yuckiness in me well at least temporary - and that is the only time when i do not feel them in my mouth - whne i eat somethign very spicy

I hardly ate canned food - maybe few canns of peach fruits or pineapple or canned corn hah sort of 10 cans in my wholelifetime I GREW UP BEING TOLD CANNED FOOD IS BAD .. but eh that did
not save me from getting morgs
ah yes when I m too sick I doi not cook as well I do not eat at all u just cant - body does not want any food as in morgs r making me full without eating God knows what goes inside of my stomach - i m always bloated as if being prego -- probably my inner organs r enlarging // sure defo a sign of DEATH LOL

Hi Danzo,

Your spleen and pancreas effect how you feel about food. When function is good your appetite will be normal, but this disease effects spleen/pancreas function from what I have seen other reporting about appetite and other issues, including what you just posted here. Some of the bloating in the middle area of the body may be coming from that. Essentially the body is unable to process the water it needs to function correctly. So some of it backs up in the body causing symptoms such as you describe. The organs effecting this bloating probably vary from person to person, but I suspect many of us have deficient spleen and kidney function as well as a liver which is stagnant (blood flow is too slow).

I figure whatever we can handle as far as food is what we have to do. People can tell us we need to improve diet, we should do this or that, but ultimately it all boils down to what we can handle on those days we don't feel tip top. Ditto on food sources as not all can afford organics or even fresh food (depending on where we live). My motto is to just do the best I can on any given day. I figure that's about all any of us can probably do.

Hold on though, I think Jean Long may over time give us some clues about eating and fixing foods which may help alleviate some Morg symptoms. At one point she mentioned something about a spicy soup with herbs in it, so over time we may hear more.
