A few years back, while in San Francisco, my wife and I ate at an Ethiopian restaurant that had one some sort of "Best in the Bay Area" award for a few years running. We got some sort of traditional meal recommended by the waitress that essentially consisted of a giant platter containing a few small salads and several quite spicy purees (lentil, eggplant, mystery, etc.). There were no utensils, but the platter was served with a stack of fermented rice pancakes (I think) that were used to scoop food off of the platter. We drank a few Ethiopian beers, and the whole meal was really fantastic. I love trying new food.... Matt ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ T.

I agree, Cookwise is an excellent book. I caught the end of an Al Roker segment on Ethiopian foods, and yes, that stuff would be of interest to us. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx
