Asmara eritrean restaurant review london

When I was a kid I had a friend whose Dad was serving in Ethiopia. He was a Soviet Army advisor helping Ethiopians fight Eritrean guerillas.

I am not a big Ethiopian food buff. I have tons of respect for the only people in Africa who managed to defend their independence against world's mightiest powers. However, Ethiopian food, although used to feed generations of fearless warriors, is not a culinary wonder. Huge sour pancakes with dabs of curries. The curries are, admittedly, flavourful, but there seems to be only one flavour in existence.

Eritrea is, technically, Ethiopia. It is the fabled Punt of Ancient Egyptians, whence they imported gold, aromatic resins, ebony, ivory, slaves and wild animals
