Ethiopian Food is one of the best cuisine in the world. You have to experience it once in your life time.

Ethiopian Food is so so delicious! In Geneva Switzerland there were 2 restaurants 10 years ago, I made it a point to go for Zigni plated on injeera with little mounds of lentils spinach and meat in sauce about once a month for a while there. Seriously yummy, the people friendly and utterly delicious coffee. For my vegetarian friends there was always a good selection also. Highly recommend this cuisine.

I feel so much for martha. eldest, first born daughter with tons of responsibility and acting as a second mother to her younger siblings, yet she still has so much thankfulness and joy. i can just imagine the love absorbed by all who eat her food.

I love the tangy taste of injera, perfect along side all the stews and veggies. Pass me the doro wat!

[carameldreams]

Some of the most delicious food I have ever had.

[PozoBlue]

Food looks amazing and they seem like such hardworking people passionate to share their food. I do wish the guy would let the lady speak for herself though. Sheldon was trying by asking her directly several times and the guy would answer for her or bring back the conversation to him. She was the first, let her speak, mate. Still, kudos for the place and the market. I hope you continue to have success and you both get better.

2:38 His laugh is so innocent. Sheldon is very friendly guy.

I loved everything about my lovely ETHIOPIA, God Bless Ethiopia, ! Amen!

[beowolf]

Arguably this is the best best food on the planet! I'm vegetarian and love their veggie cuisines as I never have felt healthier in my life since I started eating this food!

[plantpun]

Thank you so much for sharing the stories of chefs from so many cultures!

[laypyu]

I HAVE to try Ethiopian food someday somewhere... I just dunno when and where :(

But I know I will.

[Sakja]

If I ever visit Seattle, I'm going to eat there. That food looks astoundingly delicious.

[tosht]

Hmm. The only time I had *_kitfo, _* it was raw mince. This version looks quite tasty indeed. Excellent episode. Sheldon is really exceptional interacting with all the chefs and staff. 👍
