Falafel is to Israel what McDonald's is to America: fast food. Falafel (the thing in the pita) is fried chick pea with different types of "salad" including pickles, cabbage, lettuce, tomato, onion, hot sauce, and french fries, which are called chips here. Falafel stands are everywhere. 
Also very common at the lunch table is humus, the brown spread made from chick peas and/or garbanzo beans. It is served at many meals, usually with fresh pita.
