Ethiopian food is amazing and is a great cuisine for a third or fourth date.

I went to an Ethiopian restuarant once.
They brought me an empty plate. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

just wondering why you used "Niger" in your title given that, out of all African nations, Niger is not oft cited for its cuisine.

i'm going to hope that you weren't just looking to make an embarrassingly racist play on words.

He obviously was, since its "Nigerian," in any case. Pretty fitting user name.

I like living in a city big enough to have a "Little Ethiopia". So good.

Is there a Rasta church? I see a family of what must be rastas in my small city at the farmers market.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's not even a play on words, he just can't spell N.

The Ethopian food I had was overwhelmed by salt. It was only barely edible, forget actually being good. It was a miserable experience.

I dunno, I thought "Nigerian" meant from Nigeria, not Niger, which is a different nation. I'm not sure what stuff from Niger is called. I'm sure you're right about it being a bad joke though.

I have had the privilege to visit several African countries and also to eat at so-called african restaurants in the US. The two have nothing in common.
Some posters have mentioned Ethiopian food, it is good but can be quite spicy (not meaning hot).

Obviously then I missed the point of what you were saying and you should have followed up with what you meant.

Recipe = go to an Ethiopian restaurant and have them cook for you.

This is one of those things you're much better off having someone else cook for you, doing it on your own is going to be way too much work.

The food had plenty of salt in it, and salt was spread thickly all around the outside of the plates. So the extremely unpleasant saltiness wasn't just a matter of someone being a bad cook; it was because they bombarded the living hell out of everything with salt to an insane degree. Salt everywhere, rendering the food almost completely inedible. It was a nasty experience.

Perhaps some parts of Ethiopia aren't like that, I don't know. But my experience with Ethopian food was regrettable.

I've never had Ethiopian food that fits that description at all, so perhaps you were just at a bad place.

Maybe they make more money from beer sales than food?
