FOOD
Felafel
I was sitting beside a Lebanese guy at a wedding this weekend and he could not help raving about the wonderful food from his country and the Mediterranean area in general. Since then I have not stopped thinking about great Mediterranean dishes. Don't forget: eating a Meditarrenean diet apparently makes you live longer... So this ...
