Ethiopian Food

After arriving back in Kisumu Wednesday afternoon, we celebrated George's sister's birthday. In Kenya, the birthday person pays if they have a party which is the opposite of the US where the birthday person is treated by family and/or friends. Suzy took the while family (about 20 of us) to a new Ethiopian restaurant in town. Ethiopian food is served family style. There is a thin spongy bread thing called Ingera used to scoop up the meat and vegetable dishes set out in the middle of the table. I am not a fan of the Ingera, which has a sour taste, but I loved the other dishes they made. In years past, I never would have tried new foods, but now I will try almost anything. I had tried Ethiopian food in Nairobi and didn't like it. I was hesitant to try it again, but I was pleasantly surprised. I heard there was an Ethiopian restaurant in San Diego. For those of you in the area, I suggest you try it!
