TSD Ethiopian

This sure was an experience. Before leaving on the trip I was told to avoid the bread and to eat the lamb. All of the people who warned me before I left were 100% correct. However, it was impossible to avoid the bread. Dr. Jones described it at spongy rubber and he could not have been any more accurate. The appetizer was served on bread and you were suppose to use the bread to eat it. The entrée was served on bread and several rolls of the bread were brought to the table as well. In this culture, the bread is used as the utensil. It was a struggle to even try and eat the bread. We have always talked about how the first bite is the best and everything else is down hill from there. Well, I started at the bottom of the hill and started digging. Fortunately, the meat was amazing! If I chose to eat the lamb or beef with my fingers and no bread, it tasted excellent. There was enough meat on the platter that I was able to leave the restaurant somewhat satisfied. That does not mean that I will ever return, but it was an excellent experience and I am glad that we chose to make the trip.
