New cuisines!

One really cool part of living in Toronto is discovering new foods that we didn't really get in Australia.  Here are some of our new faves:

Ethiopian food is kind of strange - it looks like various colors of mush, and comes with a cold flatbread called "injera", which has a spongy texture.  You eat it by tearing pieces off the bread, and using it to pick up the mush.  It takes a bit of getting used to but it's pretty tasty - although I am generally wishing that I had some crackers and a fork after about 5 minutes.

Roti is a West Indies food, which I've learned since I arrived here covers Jamaica and some other places nearby.  It is like a wrap, with things inside - chicken or chickpeas or goat, with potatoes in a curry sauce.  This is probably my favourite new food here - and makes up for the lack of decent Thai food.












Poutine!  We had some visitors recently who didn't seem really keen on the idea of poutine - this is totally unacceptable!  It is mandatory from now on that all visitors to our house try poutine (the national food of Canada).  :)
