Wasafiri wa vegan

Mara nyingi Ethiopia huitwa paradiso ya walaji mboga (vegan). Wakristo wa Kiorthodoksi, karibu Waethiopia wanne kati ya kumi, hufunga siku 180 hadi 250 kwa mwaka: kila Jumatano na Ijumaa na katika mifungo mirefu kabla ya Pasaka na Krismasi. Siku za mfungo hawali nyama, maziwa, siagi wala mayai, kwa hiyo nchi ina mila ya muda mrefu ya mapishi ya mimea, na karibu kila mgahawa hutoa ye-tsom migib, chakula cha mfungo. Sema tu kwamba unafunga au huli nyama na watu watajua unachohitaji. Zaidi kwenye Wikipedia.

Vizuri kujua

Omba chakula cha mfungo (ye-tsom): kwa maana yake ni vegan, ilhali chakula kilekile siku isiyo ya mfungo kinaweza kupikwa kwa siagi yenye viungo (niter kibbeh).
Chakula cha mfungo kinapatikana kila mahali Jumatano, Ijumaa na wakati wa mifungo mirefu. Katika siku 50 baada ya Pasaka ya Kiorthodoksi hakuna mfungo wa Jumatano na Ijumaa, kwa hiyo sehemu chache hukipika, lakini nyingi bado zinaweza kukitayarisha ukiomba.
Baadhi ya migahawa hutoa samaki siku za mfungo. Ikiwa huli samaki, sema hivyo.
Angalia siagi katika vyakula vya kifungua kinywa kama firfir na kinche, maziwa katika macchiato, na asali katika tej (divai ya asali).
Maduka makubwa huuza dengu, unga wa njegere (shiro), matunda na mboga; masoko ya mtaani ni nafuu zaidi.

Maswali ambayo watu huuliza

Yes. On Wednesdays, Fridays and during Orthodox fasting seasons, most restaurants serve fasting food (tsom), which is fully vegan. Beyaynetu, a platter of several fasting dishes on injera, is the best first-time order.

Only if it's pure teff. Injera is sometimes mixed with wheat or barley flour, so ask.
