In Episode 2 of Budding Taste, Sophia will shed light on Ethiopian cuisine, how meals are shared, it's gluten-free nature and what healthy eating looks growing up in Ethiopia. We will also discuss "lonely eating" in America and how that contrasts with Ethiopia's idea of communal eating. Below are show notes of books and restaurants. I also really enjoy the Simpson episode of eating in an Ethiopian restaurant.
