In the battle between the global fast food empire and the plucky local cuisine, we have a winner.
McDonald's has dropped the McFalafel from its Israeli menus just a few months after it introduced the dish.
The company announced this week that it was bringing to Israeli outlets a new burger made of entrecote and prime rib, but said that the McFalafel did not belong in McDonald's.
A McDonald's spokesman told Ynet that it was an experiment that had failed and said that it would be gradually phased out of McDonald's restaurants.
