I live on ashley road now and get them from one of the shops on my road (the international) only 35p a tin so very good value as well as delicious!! I am sure there are many other small shops that sell them if you are willing to venture out of the predominantly white middle class cotham, just head downhill!! :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3362152498675364583.post-12901243583036413932009-04-09T20:51:00.000+01:002009-04-09T20:51:00.000+01:00Yet to arrive in Edinburgh.Another Crank + Rodin F...Yet to arrive in Edinburgh.<BR/><BR/>Another Crank + Rodin Fan.<BR/><BR/>(All the same the profit margins on these vegetarian joints must be fantastic considering the cost of the ingredients.) <BR/><BR/>MalMal's Allotmenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12349857165496487250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3362152498675364583.post-50503811328506245752009-04-06T23:22:00.000+01:002009-04-06T23:22:00.000+01:00I love the Falafel King, a fixture down at the doc...I love the Falafel King, a fixture down at the docks for several years.

Should be able to find them in a middle eastern grocer. Not sure where online but Googling them should reveal the answer.<BR/><BR/>I'm impressed you've purged your cookbooks btw.

I've only got Cranks Fast Food (excellent). Claudia R's Mediterranean Cookery advises making falafel Egyptian style with fava beans. I have a small hoard I brought back from Spain - so now I'm in a quandary - ful or falafel? both? The one constant in all the recipes I can find in my huge stash of 400+ (post purge) books is that raw, soaked chick peas are the way to go for falafel. Anyone know of a supplier of fava beans?local lassnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3362152498675364583.post-78079587777095316902009-04-03T12:18:00.000+01:002009-04-03T12:18:00.000+01:00I agree and I take real pleasure in looking at som...I agree and I take real pleasure in looking at some of my older books and re-trying past favourites!recipes2sharehttp://www.recipes2share.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3362152498675364583.post-3714697476071095612009-04-02T23:47:00.000+01:002009-04-02T23:47:00.000+01:00Think I've got it packed away somewhere so I'll lo...Think I've got it packed away somewhere so I'll look it up.
