Other Details:
A cottage is a small traditional house in rural Ethiopia. It is beautiful, cozy, and creates an atmosphere of love and friendliness. Up to our modern age, where people started living in high-rise apartments, ancient Ethiopians who created the country's rich history, unique traditions and culture and gave civilization to the world were Cottage dwellers. One of the Ethiopian traditions that is unique and not widely known to the outside world is Ethiopian traditional food eaten with fingers. Traditionally, diners prepare themselves for a meal by washing their hands. Then they sit around a colorfully woven Moseb where the Injera is laid on the bottom of the Moseb. Then each dish is spooned onto the Injera for all to share. Injera is torn into pieces and then used to pick up morsels of food. A piece of Injera is placed between the fingers, clasped together and used to pick up the food and place it into the mouth. For the perfect conclusion to our traditional meal we suggest a glass of Ethiopian honey wine - Tej, and a cup of Ethiopian coffee - Buna.
