We lived in Eritrea in Africa for a few years and I love Eritrean and Ethiopian food. There is a resturant New York City called Queen of Sheba. I love lentils and Eritrea food has a lot of lentil dishes and is spicy which I love. Also the custom is to eat with your hands and scoop the food into a pancake like bread called Injera. imagine having permission to eat with your hands but you only use the right hand as the left is considered unclean
