Yes, several times, and it was very good.

I'm not sure if the Ethiopian I've had is authentic, or is like Indian Restaurant food which tends to barely reflect anything like what's eaten in most of India, but the Ethiopian Restaurant food I've had is usually really good, and I tend to seek it out if I end up somewhere near a restaurant. Shiro Wot, Tibs, sometimes Misir Wot (can be hit or miss)...I usually end up just getting a new place's combo plate to find what they excel at.

Yes. Loved.  Then again, I could eat Indian everyday and be happy.  The Ethiopian I have had seems not far from Indian.

Ginger, garlic, cardamom, fenugreek, cumin, coriander, cloves, onion, and other common spices. Also, the heavy use of butter.

Definitely a lot of cross pollination with flavors, just different ratios and cooking techniques.

I do like that the Ethiopians don't have religious rules about using beef!

The food itself is good. Eating communally with hands on a piece of bread on the table is for the dogs.

Fun fact. It is apparently an honor for someone to feed you in their culture.

I found this out after having an unknown food slammed into my face hole while at a restaurant in Arba Minch by a local.

I wasn't happy.

His hands were gross.

When I lived in the ‘hood, there was an Ethiopian restaurant down the street.  It eventually closed, and they run a catering operation now.

Ethiopian food is ok. Not great, just ok. The sour, bubbly bread isn’t that great.

I love it. Most cities have the very mid quality "Blue Nile" restaurants.
Best Ethiopian I've had was in Las Vegas, at a place called Lucy.
Tibs Firfir for breakfast was sublime.
They have some amazingly beautiful, high cheekboned womens too.

Never had chips and dip at a party?
Spinach dip and pita triangles?
Don't go to a mexican restaurant, they serve communal chips and salsa.

Rofl!!!! Yeah. I was trying to think of a comeback to that. But you did it perfectly.

As to other points. Nachos. Chili cheese fries appetizer. Fuck. Most appetizers. Here is a plate of crap you eat with your hands. And it’s for the whole table……… omg!!! The horror!!!

Ethiopian food is delicious.

This thread has about 10% normal people and 90% cowards who've never left their town, their idea of ethnic food is Taco Bell, and their primary condiments are Metformin and Glucotrol.

Wifey has a para that works for her that’s from Ethiopia.

See how that works? I would try the raccoon meat. I would probably try the possum if it wasn't roadkill. I am willing to go outside my comfort zone. Still no offal though. No matter the recipe

Look at the ethiopian recipes I posted, try to identify some "disgusting"  ingredients.

I guess we can agree to disagree.

Perhaps, if you can't form a reasonable and cogent argument against something,  you should avoid the conversation.  When a foreign  cuisine has visual analogs of your native cuisine, but your entire basis for avoiding it is the appearance, then it appears there may be other factors at play.

No, just trying to penetrate the reasoning to avoid something that has nothing injurious and the potential for experiencing something new and possibly enjoyable.

The point he is making is you sound like my kids saying they won’t eat corn because it’s yellow while they ask for more mustard on their hot dogs. It’s illogical.

I have had Ethiopian food in Ethiopia.  I don’t like it.  Injera tastes like vomit.  The spices are not well balanced.  The food is revolting to me.  

Others find it amazingly delicious.  There is a reason you don’t see very many Ethiopian restaurants but you will find thousands of Mexican, Italian, or Asian restaurants.  For most of the population Ethiopian food sucks.  Some like it though.  Just not very many.

The Mexican and Italian restaurants in Addis are even better than the ones serving local cuisine.

There are bound to be a lot more Mexicans than Ethiopians in just about every part of the U.S., and the cuisine is gonna reflect that.

It's worth noting that I live in a city where there are just as many Ethiopians as Mexicans, and the number of their restaurants is also about even.

Yes. But you answered with hostility and saying it looks like shit so you won’t.

So you engaged opinionated with nonsensical arguments about why to won’t do something.

The answer would be “no”.
Not “ that looks horrible so I never would eat that ever”. Even though it looks like lots of things. Like chili.

So you provoked a response.

It seems like you’re the one who feels provoked. I enjoy this food, and you have never tried it so my opinion matters way more than yours in this instance because you keep giving nonsensical answers as to why you would never eat it.

All the diapers I have changed....it would take more than brown sugar and marshmallows.



I do love me some sweet taters though.

Personally, I am always on the lookout for something new to eat. There is a new Cambodian restaurant opening in Greenville.  I have never had it before.

I am REALLY looking forward to it. Plus the owner is likely VERY anti-communist.
