炸豆丸子是用鷹嘴豆泥做成的油炸丸子，是中東一代的名菜，目前我們國內的素食餐廳也挺流行，而巴黎則流行吃用它做的三明治。
It may not fit in with everyone’s image of classic French food, but in today’s Paris, a falafel sandwich is just as Parisian as a ham sandwich. The most famous place in the city is called L’As du Fallafel, and the line often snakes around the block. Falafel is a deep-fried ball, or a flat or doughnut-shaped patty, made from ground chickpeas, fava beans, or both. Herbs, spices, and onion relatives are commonly added to the dough. It is a well-known Middle Eastern dish that most likely originated in Egypt. The fritters are now found around the world as part of vegetarian cuisine, and as a form of street food.
炸豆丸子三明治可能不符合大家對經典法餐的印象，但在如今的巴黎，它就像巴黎的火腿三明治一樣受歡迎。在這個城市（品嚐這種三明治）最著名的地方叫L’as du Fallafel，人們經常在那裏排起蛇形長隊。炸豆丸子是一種油炸的球形或扁平或甜甜圈形狀的小餡餅，它是用剁碎的鷹嘴豆、蠶豆或兩者混合製成的。通常還可以在麪糰中加入香草、香料和洋蔥。這是一道著名的中東菜，很可能起源於埃及。這種油炸餡餅如今在世界各地都可以找到，它是一種素食菜餚，也是一種街頭小吃。
