Ethiopian


Happy Valentine's Day!



Ethiopian Platter



Daughter L went to an Ethiopian restaurant with some work friends last weekend.  She said the food was good, but they weren't provided with any cutlery and had to use their hands.  I suppose it was an authentic experience, but L said she might not go back for that reason.  (Maybe you should be given a choice.) I believe husband M and I had gone to this restaurant's 2nd location awhile back. We didn't enjoy the food but maybe we ordered the wrong dishes. L and her friends were advised to try these sampler platters which they did.

Well I hope they'll allow you to use utensils if you request for it since the food is good.

Looks good, but it would be nice to have forks etc! Valerie

I tried Moroccon cuisine once many years ago and had to use my hands. Weird.

wow, thats different, I suppose you could bring a fork, or would that be improper etiquette??

Very interesting! I'd be game to try an authentic experience, but I think giving people a choice is a good idea.

Wonder what they'd do if someone brought in their own forks?

I think they did ask but they only provided maybe serving utensils.

I've had Ethiopian food as well, Alex loves it. At the restaurant we go to, they have a page on the way to eat it. You use pieces of the bread to eat the food, I always enjoy the experience.

My son took us to an Ethiopian restaurant in D.C. and I remember eating with our hands. You had to rip off a piece of flat bread to eat the dishes. It was really interesting and we enjoyed it. Good to have hand sanitizers though.
