Falafel is a specific cuisine that is common throughout much of the Middle East. It is theorized, yet not substantiated, that falafel originated in Egypt. It is speculated that it was first made by Copts as a replacement for meat during Lent. It then moved to the Levant area, which includes Lebanon. There are substantial differences between each country's version of falafel. For example, Lebanon uses chickpeas rather than fava beans. In summation, falafel is certainly a dish from Lebanon, yet one cannot make the claim that it originated in Lebanon.
