Here in the U.S., it'd be a little bit like Northern vs Southern cooking, more of a regional difference. Eritrean tends not mix meat and veg in the same dish. Use more tomatoes and eggplant, while Ethiopian uses more onions and carrots. But I suspect that most restaurants in the U.S. tend to mix the two, the way I, as a Yankee, would still have shrimp and grits and black eyed peas on my menus and Eritrean might often have more to do with the ethnicity of the owner/chef and their feeling that customers in their locale aren't going to be afraid of something less familiar. <br /><br />Like Anonymous 7:09. Dude, just because you don't like it...way to trash an entire cuisine, not to mention culture. Pretty sure the entire Ethiopian/Eritrean community does. And lots of us Americans absolutely love it. I'm so psyched that we have a wealth of Ethiopian/Eritrean restaurants in this county - my house eats Ethiopian at least twice a month. It could well be our favorite take-out/take-home food. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28521945.post-63418323835286779542018-06-10T07:09:11.760-07:002018-06-10T07:09:11.760-07:00They'll all be closed.
