Something about Ethiopian Food and Culture
Ethiopian food is eaten with fingers because it is tasteful and intimate. Traditionally, in Ethiopia, one does not eat food alone or in a separate plate. Ethiopians say, "Food tastes better when they eat it together." Therefore, food is generally eaten in a group sitting around a wide serving basket, feeding not only oneself but also hand-feeding (giving gursha to one another, especially guests, as an expression of love and hospitality.
