I'm not a big meat eater and ever since I was a kid, I have flip flopped between being a vegetarian and a meat eater. Some meats that I've eaten that were unusual were shark and alligator meat.

Speaking of weird meats, I found these in my email while looking for the roach photos. P sent these to me, too.

LL, how did corn with ginger sauce make it in the line up?! lol.

WhidbeyGirl, like LL and some of the other ladies I didn't bring food with me. Ask your SO about his cooking facilities in detail. In Ethiopia there were a variety of cooking situations and "apartment" did not mean that there was a kitchen or that the kitchen was indoors. Your stove top might run on butane. Just ask a lot of questions. In general cooking was just a hassle and the food at restaurants were good quality and cheap.

Since your SO is Nigerian you might like Jaloff rice (I probably didn't spell it right) but its a lot like Louisiana Jambalaya. Be sure to ask for Chicken Jaloff rice. Try to sample and enjoy new foods. If you find that there is nothing you like , you could always do a raw diet of sorts during your visit. I'm sure there are lots of fresh fruits and veggies in the markets.

LL you make a very strong case for being a vegetarian while I'm out of the country. Blech!

I love fruits and veggies so I will probably stick to those and whatever I bring. I saw a recipe for Jollof (sp) rice and it looks very similiar to the mexican rice I make. I'll just get real healthy while I'm there and lose a lot of weight, so it'll all work out for the best
