Which fast-food chain once served a McFalafel on its breakfast menu in Egypt?

The story behind the answer

McDonald’s once served a McFalafel on its breakfast menu in Egypt. The item adapted a familiar Egyptian and Middle Eastern food to McDonald’s regional menu.

McFalafel was introduced in Egypt in 2001, reflecting McDonald’s practice of tailoring menus to local tastes. Historical descriptions mention a falafel patty or croquette served with vegetables and tahini sauce; McDonald’s Egypt has also listed a McFalafel wrap among breakfast offerings.

This is a regional-menu fact, not a claim that the item was a standard McDonald’s breakfast worldwide. International chains often create country-specific products, so a menu item remembered from Egypt may never have appeared in the United States or many other markets.
