Ethiopia and its Cuisine

Ethiopia (Ge'ez: ኢትዮጵያ ʾĪtyōṗṗyā), officially: የኢትዮጵያ ፌዴራላዊ ዲሞክራሲያዊ ሪፐብሊክ; ye-Ītyōṗṗyā Fēdēralāwī Dīmōkrāsīyāwī Rīpeblīk; Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia and ranks amongst the world's oldest nations. It is also Afrca's second most populous country and along with neighbouring Kenya it has yielded some of the oldest traces of humanity. The capital and largest city is Addis Abbaba. The country is ethnically diverse, with most of its population speakig a Semitic or Cushitic language (there ar 84 indigenous languages with Amharic being the official language). The Oromo, Amhara, and Tigray and Somali make up more than three-quarters of the population, but there are more than 80 different ethnic groups within Ethiopia. Some of these have as few as 10,000 members. According to the Ethiopian national census of 1994, the Oromo are the largest ethnic group in Ethiopia at 32.1%. The Amhara represent 30.2%, while the Tigray people are 6.2% of the population. Other ethnic groups are as follows: Somali 6.0%, Gurage 4.3%, Sidama 3.4%, Wolayta 2%, Afar 2%, Hadiya 2%, Gamo 1%. Christians make up 61% of the country's population, Muslims 33%, and practitioners of traditional faiths 5%. Indeed, Ethiopia is the second-oldest country to become officially Christian after Armenia (thoug the country has been officially secular since 1974).

Ethiopian cuisine is diverse, yet almost wholly native. Involving the use of mostly only native vegetables, spices, and meats, Ethiopian cuisine is, quite possibly, one of the most sincerely unique cuisines known internationally. Like neighbouring Eritrea many spices are used, though the local spice mix, berbere, predominates and is used in pretty much everything.

Most meals are based on the bread, Injera which is torn into pieces and used to scoop the food from a communal vessel. Traditional meals consist of a thick stew (typically called a wat) along with Injeera.
