At mealtime, damp towels may be passed out to diners (before and after the meal), to wash
their hands; Cameroonians eat out of communal bowls. Using their right hands, they dip
three fingers into the starchy food—often fufu or a millet dish—and then into the stews or
sauces of the meal. It is customary for the men to serve themselves first, while the women
wait patiently and the children eat what is left after the adults have finished.

the mat for everyone to share. Most often rice is rolled into a tight ball and is used to scoop

Before eating a meal Ethiopians wash their hands under water poured from a pitcher
into a basin. Then a prayer or grace is said. An appetizer of a bowl of curds and
whey may be served. At the start of the meal, injera is layered directly on a round,
woven basket table called a mesob . Different kinds of stews such as wot (spicy)
and alecha (mild) are arranged on top of the injera .

Sometimes the meal will not begin until the head of the household or guest of honor
tears off a piece of bread for each person at the table. The right hand is used to pick
up a piece of injera , wrap some meat and vegetables inside, and eat. As a sign of
respect, an Ethiopian may find the best piece of food on the table and put it in their
guest's mouth. Ethiopians drink tej (a honey wine) and tella (beer) with their meals.
Coffee, however, the most popular beverage in the country, is usually drunk at the
end of a meal. Ethiopia is considered the birthplace of coffee. Coffee is a principal
export.

can't find ground lamb)
 salt, to taste
 pepper, to taste
 1tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
 1(4 ounce) box tabouli mix (I cup raw rice if you can't find Tabuli)

 3(16 ounce) cans chicken broth(you can use just water if you want.)
 4lemons, squeezed or 4 lemon juice, equivalent
 4eggs
Serves 20

1. Drain, rinse and dry grape leaves.

2. Place off to the side.

3. In a large bowl mix ground round, Lamb, salt, pepper, minced


parsley, onion chopped, crushed or pressed garlic and Tabuli (or
rice); mix well.

4. Lay out one grape leaf stem up, place about 1 rounded tablespoon
meat mixture near stem.

5. Fold stem up over meat mixture fold one side leaf over mixture, fold
top over then roll the rest but not tight.

6. This is just like making a burrito.

7. I use toothpicks to keep the stuffed leaves together.

8. Place in at least 1 gal pot.

9. Continue until all leaves are filled and snug in pot.

10. If you run out of grape leaves that's okay, you can roll little balls
of meat mixture and place in pot.

11. Cover all stuffed leaves with chicken broth adding water if you
don’t have enough broth, more broth if you have it on hand (you can
use just water if you want).

12. Bring the broth to a boil then turn heat to low, simmer and cook
covered until tender (pierced with a fork) about 30 minutes.

13. Remove about 1 quart of broth from pot and let cool down a
little.

14. You want it hot just not scalding hot.

15. In another bowl beat 4 eggs until frothy adding slowly juice
from lemon.

16. Take the warmed broth and add to the egg mixture slowly a 1/2
ladle at a time still beating the egg mixture.
17. After all broth is mixed with egg & lemon slowly add to pot on
stove.

18. Cover the pot and turn flame off.

19. Let sit for about 10 minutes then serve.

20. I like it tart and rich so I use more eggs and lemon then the
recipe calls for.

21. You can experiment how many eggs and lemon you want for
the egg lemon broth.

22. Leftover broth in pot makes good Avgolemono (Egg Lemon


soup).
