The food

To purchase meat you go to the butchers. Yes that is just beef hanging in an open shop that they cut off what you want, weigh it and you are on your way.


Before eating washing is very important. At the larger traditional restaurants they come to the table with soap and water to let you wash.


Coffee is the number on export in Ethiopia (accounts for 85% of thier export). here a woman is roasting coffee beans, they are then ground with a mortar and pestal to make coffee for a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceromony.

Traditional Ethiopian food -- it is a community dish and served with injera (a bread that comes like a pancake). Injera is used as your utensils -- you use it to get your food and to eat it (no other cutlery is needed).

This is a stove someone would use in their home to cook with.
