Ethiopian cooking is generally spicy, made out of vegetables and meat. It is usually in the form of stew called wat or wot. It is served atop a sourdough flatbread called injera. The people use their hands when eating. Utensils like spoon and fork are useless in this country as much as pork or pig meat. Most dishes are served with beef and mutton as the main meat ingredients because national religions prohibit the eating of pork.
Some of the famous dishes that visitors should taste when in Ethiopia are tibs, which is the sautéed form of wat, kitfo or raw ground beef marinated in mitmita (very spicy chili powder), and fitfit, which is atypical breakfast dish made from shredded Injera with spices.
For beverage, travelers may try tej, which is a potent honey wine served in bars. Or they may gulp Katikal and araki , strong and inexpensive local spirits.
