Eating Ethiopian

We tried Ethiopian food for the first time the other night with Tamara & Brian. It's pretty spicy, so luckily since we are used to Sri Lankan food, it wasn't too bad for us. Unfortunately Rachel didn't like it, but we'll have to try some other things next time we go.


For those who have never gone, I'll try to explain what it's like. There is a big plate brought out with injera covering the plate. Injera is kind of like a big crepe. It's their type of bread, but Jesse thinks it's some kind of potato product as well. It's really spongy.... it's interesting. Not bad, but not that great either. On top of the Injera they put different garnishes on it, and then you order different types of meat or veggies. We tried a chicken dish, beef dish, and a lamb dish. We all liked the lamb dish the best, with the beef dish coming in a close second. The chicken dish was okay, but not as flavourful as the other two. You use the injera to pick up the meat and garnishes...no silverware. Again that wasn't a too big deal for us, b/c of our experience in Sri Lanka. It was fun to get a little taste of the culture, and we are both happy that we like the food! : )
