Food & Drink

Local food is based on seer - meat, chicken or vegetables cooked in a hot pepper sauce, served with injera (a flat, spongy bread). Other dishes include shivro and muir (based on chickpeas and lentils) and tibs (crispy fried steak). There is also a wide choice of fish available.

Tej - an alcoholic drink based on fermented honey - is unique to Ethiopia.
