Ethiopian Food. Get ready!

So last Saturday I went to the Abay restaurant near the Nashville zoo for some fine Ethiopian cuisine. The place wasn't two big and there were some British people sitting at the table next to me as I waited on my friends to arrive. The menu was in aramaic and in ethiopian with pronounciations on it. My friend Jenn did the ordering cause I had no clue what to order even with the pictures. So we ordered some meats and vegetables. It reminded me of Indian food a little bit because of the spices but no where near as spicy. The owner of the place brought out a circular tray with this pancake bread covering on it that was a little spongy too. The food dishes were poured on top of this and instead of utensils you would tear off a piece of this bread and scope your food into it. In the middle was a leg of chicken and a bowled egg. I forget the name of it. Also we had yellow peas, red potatoes, beef tips, and some kind of green beans. Most of the food was in a liquid sauce which all of it was really good but different because you are eating with hands. Jenn also brought some yogurt which tasted a little like sour cream to eat with the meat. Very interesting and not too sweet. Afterwards I was full and didn't get extremely ill. There is one dish we shouldn't order because its raw meat so I will have to ask Jenn again what that was. Just wanted to fill you guys in for what we'll be eating on part of our trip.
