Ethiopian for Dinner

This evening I met two more WoW friends, Brian (Ezroc) and Kirsten (Tanwen). They suggested an Ethiopian restaurant called Zeni which they love, and in the spirit of trying new things we went along and gave it a go. The place was very crowded, and there was a wait of about an hour, but once we were seated and had an entrée similar to a savoury pie, the edge was off and we settled in for the long wait on our meal. Ethiopian is served family style, and with no utensils. All the food is dished up onto one central platter lined with their large round sourdough bread, and you also get a basket of the same sourdough bread, but rolled up like bandages. Imagine sour greyish pancakes, but only cooking one side of them. It wasn't as bad as it sounds. To eat the food from the central dish, which is usually very spicy, but Kirsten ordered us the milder dishes (Thank you!) you tear off parts of your pancake bandage roll and pinch the food up from the platter with it. It was actually a pretty tidy way of eating, though they both warned us not to rub our eyes, as the spicy oils hurt. I suspect that was the voice of experience.
We had a great time and I look forward to meeting up with Brian and Kirsten again.
