Default Awful Falafel

Got a box of mix, company, Casbah. I'll see what I can do.

It didn't occur to me that I don't use powdered mixes like that for a
reason; they're usually overloaded to the far end of the salt spectrum.
Oh well, maybe I'll be lucky.

As a point of reference I talked to two workers in the store, both from
India (Gujarati, I believe). Neither had ever heard of falafel. They
found somebody else and they took me to the one and only brand that was
in the store.

This proves nothing on its own, but I don't think Indians eat falafel
or anything like it. They do have a falafel-like unit that is made
from lentil flour though.
