We decided Christmas break was a fabulous time to have our first adventure in Ethiopian food!! So we ventured out in the blistering cold last night to a local restaurant, Little Africa.
We discussed with the kids beforehand that this was going to be all totally unfamiliar, very different tasting food and we were so proud of them for their willingness to try everything!
The mango juice was definitely a favorite:
The guava juice was also a hit:
And the tea was knock-it-out-of-the-park AMAZING!!!
We didn't try coffee this time around, but loving coffee like I do, I still thought a random photo was necessary. :)
The giant plate of food that we shared!
There are no utensils used. In Ethiopian meals, the injera bread, a large, sourdough flat bread, is used to scoop up all the different stews and dishes. We ate a combination platter, a sample of everything which was quite the feast!! We found that some dishes were way to spicy for us (and especially the kids) but others were so unique and flavorful!! Now that we've tried everything, we'll probably stick to the more mild dishes. We look forward to going with family and friends!
