Food & drinks

Alicha is equally delicious but a lot milder and is usually made form chicken or lamb flavored with green pepper and onions. Traditional Ethiopian meals are normally washed down with the, a type of wine made form honey, or Tella which is a light, home-brewed beer usually manufactured from barley.

Ethiopia also produces a range of very palatable yet inexpensive red and white wines. Ethiopians do not traditionally end their meals with a dessert although, if it can be found, a honeycomb dripping with honey is often offered to soothe the heat of the Wot. In any event, the end of a meal is not complete without Buna, the Ethiopian word for coffee, the world’s favorite beverage which actually originated in Ethiopia about a thousand years ago.
