Last year, I was watching Top Chef Season ? and the contestants had to cook Ethiopian food. They were judged by Marcus Samuelsson. I know now that he specializes in Scandinavian food (I have his book Aquavit and plus Ted Allen told me on Chopped). He was born in Ethiopia, so naturally, he knows a thing or two or a thousand about Ethiopian cuisine as well. I learned that Ethiopian food largely consists of spicy vegetable and meat "stews" called wats (or wots). I don't know how I feel about this. Tiffany Ethiopianstew. /:
ANYWAY.
I finally got around to trying Ethiopian food. I followed trusty Yelp reviews and went to Meals by Genet in Little Ethiopia.
I've found that I am not a big fan of Ethiopian food. It was tasty, but, I'm not quite sure I'll be jumping to eat it again. That may be because some of the vegetable wots/wats were weird (to me). I can see why people like it a lot, though. I'm just picky.
There must be a reason Marcus Samuelsson specializes in Scandinavian food... JUST KIDDING. Again. The food was tasty, but, it just didn't match my tired ol' American palate.
If I go again, I think I'll try the tofu/beef/chicken tibs. Actually, that sounds amazing. I just started drooling.
Now I want hummus and garlic sauce.
I've come full circle with the garlic sauce. Must... eat... garlic sauce... this week.......
