A night at the Blue Nile

Tonight we had our first Ethiopian dining experience. We ate dinner at the Blue Nile Restaurant, a little place on North High Street in Columbus. We sat in the traditional seating section and ate around the Mosseb (the common tray/plate). We had a combo meal which consisted of the following dishes:

- Doro Alicha: chicken legs and hard boiled eggs in a rich, tasty, not-too-spicy curry sauce.
- Key Fit Fit: lamb stew that was a bit spicy
- Fasolia Bekarot: potatoes, carrots, and string beans cooked in a curry-ish stew
- Cooked Cabbage

Of course, all of these dishes were served on injera, a crepe-like bread that was slightly sour tasting. We ate with our fingers, scooping the food with small pieces of injera. There was also a small portion of cheese (i think - it was somewhat neutral in taste) served. Here's a rather unappetizing picture of our meal; unfortunately we didn't think to take a picture of the meal before we started eating. Overall the meal was quite good and we enjoyed each of the entrees.

What a meal!-I nearly threw up in the back of my mouth. No, I'm just playing, I had no idea they had that rest. up on High St. Do you recommend it? Chris wouldn't fly with it, but my Dad would!
