I HAD ETHIOPIAN FOOD!!
On Saturday, my book club had its monthly meeting at Dukem in Baltimore to discuss this month's book, A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier by Ishmael Beah. Dukem is an Ethiopian restaurant near the Meyerhoff. I was excited and terrified at the same time because I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Well, let it be said that I was pleasantly surprised. Not sure if I was more pleased with the food or the experience itself.
We decided to get a combination platter so we could sample several different things. There was lamb, beef, chicken, lentils, peas, and things I don't recall. It was served with a tangy flatbread that is used to pick up the food and eat - no utensils! Great fun! Some of the food was a bit spicy for my palate, but it was good nonetheless. I highly recommend that everyone try Ethiopian cuisine. I can't wait to return!
