A nice surprise at a classic rural fair with log-splitting and skillet-tossing, after a very hilly 10k. The line was short so I decided to ask for a single falafel on the side. The person said sure, but we must have misunderstood each other because she rang me up for a full side order (4 pieces with white sauce), way more than I wanted. I’m glad in this case because the shape was so intriguing, but it discourages me from trying again in future unless I’m prepared.
- Falafel itself: Incredibly crunchy and dark crust, quite green on the inside – maybe a touch dry and/or overfried, but overall delicious. I love the cute little barrel shape too. 8/10
- Bread: Tasty, fresh, but not toasted. 7/10
- Sandwich fixings, taste and texture: Good tomato, lettuce, pickle, and the white sauce was decent. 7/10
- Value for money: Expensive even without the accidental $8 side – $14 for a small sandwich. But fair prices are typically inflated and it was yummy. 6/10.
- Eatability: It held together pretty well but the last inch sprayed white juice all over my lap. I should have been more careful since it was juicy. 3/5
- Bonus points: Great recovery meal! 1/5
- Total: 32/50
