Cooking Ethiopia

 Gastronomy

Ethiopians enjoy eating wats (meat, chicken or vegetable dishes) served with spicy sauces and injera (bread), and tibs (chunks of grilled meat). Among the other specialties, there are shivro (chick-pea dish) and misir (cooked lentils). Ethiopians also eat a lot of fish, such as trout, perches and shrimps. Meals are served in a huge dish, around which guests come and sit. Hands are always washed before meals, because you always use the right hand to eat with. They drink a lot of coffee in Ethiopia. It comes from the Kaffa province. People also drink talla (beer) that has a very special taste, kaitaka (sort of cereal alcohol), local cognac and tej (a honey-based fermented alcoholised drink).
