What ๐Ÿง† means

A few round, brown falafel balls, made from ground chickpeas or fava beans and fried. It means falafel and Middle Eastern food more widely.

Pairs with ๐Ÿฅ™ for a pita wrap, with ๐Ÿฅ— for a bowl, and with ๐ŸŒฑ in vegetarian or vegan meal talk. Some people also use it for meatballs, since no meatball emoji exists.

At small sizes it can look like ๐Ÿฅ” or brown balls of dough.
