This Egyptian version of the chickpea-based vegetarian mainstay is a pea-free zone.
Between winter weather and the pandemic, the world can feel pretty small right now. That s why we re launching The Dish, a weekly story devoted to a single item at a Halifax restaurant. Whether it inspires you to dine in or take out, we hope to expand your eating horizons.
Homemade falafel pocket at Kam-Moon, $7.95 You know falafel, the savoury nugget of fried chickpea batter. But you probably don’t know the falafel at Kam-Moon. What makes its Egyptian falafel different from other falafel balls around town is the fava beans. “We don’t really put any chickpeas in the mix,” says Hossam Ramadan, general manager of the restaurant that sits on the corner of Brunswick and Cogswell Streets (2013 Brunswick Street).
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PISCES
(February 19-March 20) Piscean author Anais Nin was a maestro of metamorphosis, a virtuoso of variation, an adept at alteration. She regarded her ceaseless evolution as a privilege and luxury, not an oppressive inconvenience. I take pleasure in my transformations, she wrote. I look quiet and consistent, but few know how many women there are in me. Her approach is a healthy model for most of you Pisceans and will be especially worth adopting in the coming weeks. I invite you to be a Change Specialist whose nickname is Flux Mojo.
THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: Mario Chhem, Jennifer Davis, Eric Gunnells, Waye Mason, Sasha Oreskovich, Kate Spurr, Scott Trivers and Rose Wilson.
