Ethiopian in MD/DC

I second Dukem! The food is fantastic and the service is excellent. Personally I think it's better than Zed's, and perhaps less crowded than Etete. I love getting the assorted vegetable platter. Get a glass of the Ethiopian honey wine, tej, with your meal as well. Oh man, now I'm craving Ethiopian food!....

Actually, I believe it's muskrats, with the reasoning that (1) there wasn't much fish available for Lent to early settlers in some parts around America, and (2) anyone eating muskrat is doing enough penance already, they're more than making up for not having fish instead. :-)

Those that have been to Dukem or Etete (they seem to be the most popular). How big are the servings? Are they generous enough to share with another person?

Ethopian food is served without untensils. Instead you eat off a huge platter of spongy injera bread and use peices of injera to scoop up the food. The best known ethopian dishes are tibs which are spicy peces of meat. Tradtionally they are served raw but in america you can have them cooked. Also well known is Duro Wat, which is a spicy chicken dish with hard boiled eggs. Other dishes I like are thier lentils, cabbage and shiro wat dishes. Enjoy!

There's an old north woods recipe for Beaver:

Skin it, gut it, season with salt & pepper. Place it on a cedar plank, roast it for several hours at 325. When done, throw away the
beaver and eat the plank.

Beaver meat tastes very fishy.

Based on what I read in my local Catholic newsaper ; the church that can justify voting for Obama , can easily come up with a reason to eat beaver on Friday.

Thank goodness... Cause I try to eat beaver as much as I can every week! I guess I just have a thing for beaver. (Someone had to say it!)

From what my priest told me years ago, the Catholic Church considers any cold-blooded animal "not meat." So, when you can't eat meat on Fridays, you can still eat fish, snake, frogs, etc. Funny that beavers fell on that list as warm-blooded mammals...
