Ethiopia Food


To anyone who has travelled elsewhere in Africa, Ethiopian food comes as a welcome revelation. Instead of the bland gristle and starch that is the standard restaurant fare in most African small towns, Ethiopian food is deliciously spicy and you can eat well virtually anywhere in the country. Contrary to many people’s expectations, most of Ethiopia is fertile, food is easy to find, and portions are generous and very cheap. If you are travelling in tandem you’ll often find that one plate of food – which costs little more than a dollar – will be adequate to feed two.

4. Russell's Tip on Gambela
Gambela, Ethiopia
This is not really a town you go to without a good reason, I came here whilst en route to the Sudanese refugee camps 100km away near the border. The town is more Sudanese than Ethiopian and as it is out of the highlands the weather is much hotter than the rest of the country. Most of the people here are Nuer, but there are various other groups in the area too. I visited in 2000 and I believe than the security situation has become a lot more of a problem in recent years.
