Ethiopian Food

This weekend I'm visiting my aunt and uncle. I've actually never been to their house before. They live in Maryland and work in D.C. I'm going there to visit some museums and stuff, should be pretty fun. They told me that on Saturday we would be dining in a Ethiopian restaurant. To make a long story short, I need some advice about how to eat Ethiopian food. I've never had it in my life, and it looks quite different to anything I've seen before. So yeah, if you know how to eat it, I would appreciate it if you could help me out.

I believe you put it in your mouth. But I could be wrong...

I should have expected responses like these. All I did was ask a single question and I get a bunch of answers that have nothing to contribute to the topic.

Sure, I can give you some tips. You most likely won't be eating with a utensil. If a lady brings a pot of water to you then wash your hands in it. The food is very diverse but the flavors will be very strong. They have a lot of exotic drinks there so be sure to try those out. That's it really, if you don't have a strong constitution then bring lots of Tums.

There's an "Ethiopian Cuisine" restuarant in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I ate there out of curiosity. There are a lot of vegetables and spices, primarily ginger. Use a fork.

Since your eating with your family in the United States I doubt you should be too worried about traditional Ethiopian dining etiquette. Oh, and for dessert try the Baklava.

Says Mrs. Yellow stuff with all this nasty looking white shit. What was it called again? pootette? get some goat meat and hot fufu

Ethiopians carefully prepare food, with plenty of tasty spices and all, I had lots of Ethiopians on my old football team, and I'd eat with them a lot. Food's good, don't hold back, enjoy.

Looks like they weren't hitting shit. That one guy's "put your head down and shoot blindly" method isn't very effective.

I believe it`s called a banana sundae, IMMIGRANT!

Also I`ve still yet to try a nice big bowl of hot fufu. Too bad Nigerians don`t own any legit restaurant chains.

I love how you totally mistook a bullet-proof vest for a life-jacket.

It's Ethiopia, not Atlantis.

Their food is very strong, but delicious. I didn't like the bread too much though.
