I have never heard a good thing about Ethiopian food.

Perhaps, though, all my friends who have tried it are wusses and/or the Ethiopian in LA (like in that Ethiopian area south of the Grove) is bad.

Still. I'm a wuss too.

Really dude? Morocco is as far Africa as good food gets. The rest is just variations on Kabobs and rice.

This does not sound like an accurate description of the Ethiopian food I have eaten.

All Ethiopian food I have eaten has been roasted goat and spaghetti with meat sauce.  I guess the Italian occupation made a strong impression on their cuisine.

This reminds me of the first time I had Ethiopian food, which was in the company of Cort, Wombat, and the Technical Staff.

Good times.

Ditto. I'm also not a fan of the bread. I don't like the sponginess I think. Give me some naan or roti

Ethiopian is amazing, also absolutely nothing like what bluemoon described.

I am a vegetarian though, maybe their meat sucks?

Nah, their meat doesn't suck. Their is an amazing ethiopian place right around the corner from me and I love to go there with friends. Mostly because eating with your hands is a great thing to do with people and also I love the bread and spicy food. It makes be jealous of west philly because I swear they have one ethiopian cafe per capita.

I had ethiopian food for the first time recently, and I really didn't like it. I couldn't figure out what it was, but there was this one taste going on in the food that I just HATED. Maybe it was the injera? It was kind of like... sour.
Just curious--where did you dine?

Had Ethiopian for the first (and so far last) time about a year ago. Just your basic wat and injera spread. Really not bad at all. Not exactly my thing, but I'd definitely go again if adventurous friends were in town or whatever. The only thing that was kind of a hangup for me as I was eating was that the actual task of wiping the wat with the injera kind of reminded me a little too much of ass wiping. Stupid, I know. But once my mind went there I couldn't shake it.

Ethiopian cuisine is what I would eat in a perfect world on the days I'm not eating pizza.

You are now charged with opening a theme restaurant featuring Italian/Ethiopian fusion cuisine.  Bonus points for successful franchises that displace P.F.Chang's.

I have nothing to add about bread or Ethiopian food. I would like to say on an unrelated note that Wombat edited the news box and the new entries are very amusing to read.
