Muse To Host Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony
Fancy a taste of Ethiopian coffee and cuisine without leaving the comfort of the island? The Muse Restaurant in Hamilton is set to host an evening that will allow you to do just that.
Known for its delicious breads, stews [known locally as wat], unique spices, and traditional coffee ceremony that follows every meal, Ethiopia plays host to a variety of food, drink, and traditions that cannot be found anywhere else.
A typical Ethiopian meal consists of a serving of flatbread, known as injera, along with a serving of wat, with the country’s unique coffee served afterwards, though each cultural group offers some variation in their preparation choice of foods.
Known as one of the most important ceremonies in the country, Ethiopians traditionally make, serve, and drink coffee following every meal, with the coffee brewed by first roasting fresh beans over hot coals, giving everyone in attendance the opportunity to enjoy the smokey aroma that the roasting produces.
Once fully roasted, the beans are ground and boiled; the brew is then transferred to another receptacle, called a jebena, for cooling. Traditionally, the host serves coffee for each guest, with sugar or salt added as requested, along with popcorn, nuts, or another snack.
In order to provide hungry Bermudians with a taste of all that Ethiopia has to offer, unique coffee ceremony included, they will be providing a full buffet at their evening of traditional Ethiopian cuisine, with access to everything on offer, including coffee and desert, costing only $49 per person.
The meal will take place on Saturday [Sept 28] from 7 PM to 10 PM at the Muse Restaurant at 17 Front Street, Hamilton; for table reservations, please call 441-296-8789.
