After I told Marta, the wife of the man who owns the little store down the
street, I really enjoyed her Injera bread she said, "Oh! We were talking
about it and I'm going to make you some Ethiopian food which will be great
with that bread!" A very generous offer and one I'd love to try. (She
didn't tell me the name of the dish, probably hadn't made up her mind yet.)

So yesterday Gabe he told me his wife had made a (vegetarian) stew-like dish
for me. She'd put it in the walk-in cooler but he didn't know where it was.
He asked me to come back today to take some home with me. So I stopped in
early this afternoon but neither he nor his wife were there. So my
introduction to authentic Ethiopian food is on hold... for the moment.

Will you be reciprocating the honor with anything? Perhaps something
like Scottish shortbread or something from your own family's culture?
What a lovely thing for them to do.

I thought it was a lovely offer, yes. I have to think of something they
will eat since they rarely eat anything with meat (even fish) in it and I'm
a carnivore! Perhaps Scottish shortbread would be a good way to go! Thank
you for the suggestion

Welsh Rabbt ? You can pretend it is meat and they'll know it isn't.

Pity. When I go to visit my son in Montreal we usually go to one of his
favourite Ethiopian restaurants. It is quite tasty and we always enjoy it.

I'm not sure they are big into cheese in their food, either, but they aren't
"vegans" so perhaps they would like Rarebit.

About the only thing enjoyable about my last trip to Seattle was the
Ethiopian food. The bread was especially good, and versatile serving as
both part of the meal and a plate at the same time. Very heavily spiced as
I recall, the meats were incredibly good. First time I ever ate goat. And
they have vegetarian dishes that are equally as good. But do so be careful
when they ask if you like it hot. They mean their definition of hot.

As a (mostly) veg, I'd say to make them one of your wonderful soups.
Sub veggie stock for chicken stock.
