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.

Ethiopian food is eaten with the hands, using pieces of a type of flat bread
called injera. Diners tear off a piece of injera , and then use it to scoop up or pinch off
mouthfuls of food from a large shared platter.

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.
