Ethiopian

I had Ethiopian food last night and it was AMAZING. So I'm gong to tell you about it.

First of all, I love spicy food, but whenever I try to order any the waiters look at me, think "No, white girl can't handle it" and I get something bland instead. Ethiopia has the spiciest food in all of Africa and while it's not overwhelming, it is definitely felt. They bring out all sorts of different things that you can't really identify, which is perfect for me because as long as I don't know what went into it, I'll gladly eat even vegetable concoctions. They also give you rolled pancakes that look like the hand towels you get on airplanes that are called injera. They are what you use to eat all of your food. There are no utensils, which is fantastic for people like me who secretly, and sometimes not so secretly, feel stifled by knives and forks. And have I mentioned that the food is delicious? Oh My God. 

This picture isn't what we actually had but looks very similar. If you want to try it, go to Zeni in San Jose.
