How did they taste?
And whats the response of the groomer girl's?

By the way, I love how you see something being made, maybe even something you don't now, then rush off, get the ingredients and make your own version

Thank you! They even taste good too. Now I have to make pita bread and tzatziki sauce...

They taste like the ones I've had in Mediterranean restaurants in 'Vegas. The GG's get them on Monday with pita bread and tzatziki sauce. About half of them don't know what they are so this is an "on me" lunch to broaden their horizons...

I took notes per our earlier discussion, somewhere...

I think that's inherent to being a foodie.

Please let us know what they say.
Will you serve the falafel hot?

And whats been the girls response to your other meals? I think you are pretty close to them saying "just surprise us, make something you think we'll like"

Yeah, but you jump in with both feet
(Falafel, curry paste etc)

I'll take them in the to go boxes and they can microwave as they get the opportunity to eat. They're service based so you never know when lunch is.

Here's today...

Both feet, a crooked finger, and a titanium hip!

I've never microwaved falafel...
Wouldn't it loose the crisp?

Probably, but they loved the hush puppies and they weren't crisp by the time they got to eat them.

Sometimes catfish can get mushy. But also the condensation in the box might make the breading soggy on reheat in the microwave. Actually reheating anything with breading in the microwave makes it soggy. Might be good to find out.

I agree
Some things may be better eating cold than microwaved
I think esp for deep fried stuff. Best way to re-heat is a dip back in hot oil, but I realise that's not feasable in this case.
Do they have a mini-oven maybe?
