Areki

Ethiopian cuisine (amharic: የኢትዮጵያ ምግብ "ye-ītyōṗṗyā məgəb") characteristically consists of vegetable and often very spicy meat dishes. this is usually in the form of wat, a thick stew, served on top of injera (amharic: እንጀራ), a large sourdough flatbread, which is about 50 centimeters (20 inches) in diameter and made out of fermented teff flour. ethiopians eat most of the time with their right hands, using pieces of injera to pick up bites of entrées and side dishes.the ethiopian orthodox tewahedo church prescribes a number of fasting periods known as tsom (ge'ez: ጾም ṣōm), including all wednesdays and fridays and the whole lenten season (including fifteen days outside lent proper). per oriental orthodox tradition, the faithful may not consume any kind of animal products (including dairy products and eggs) during fasts; ethiopian cuisine therefore contains many dishes that are vegan.

Avocado juice

The avocado (persea americana) is a tree originating in the americas which is likely native to the highland regions of south-central mexico to guatemala. it is classified as a member of the flowering plant family lauraceae. the fruit of the plant, also called an avocado (or avocado pear or alligator pear), is botanically a large berry containing a single large seed. avocado trees are partially self-pollinating, and are often propagated through grafting to maintain predictable fruit quality and quantity.avocados are cultivated in tropical and mediterranean climates of many countries, with mexico as the leading producer of avocados in 2019, supplying 32% of the world total. avocado production is one of the most environmentally intensive fruits, using 70 litres (18 us gallons; 15 imperial gallons) of water per avocado, and over 400 grams of co2 emissions. in major production regions like chile, mexico and california, the water demands for avocado puts pressure on overall water resources. avocado production is also connected to other concerns, including environmental justice and human rights concerns, deforestation and connections of mexican avocados with organized crime. climate change is expected to cause significant changes in the suitable growing zones for avocados, and put additional pressure due to heat waves and drought.the fruit of domestic varieties has a buttery flesh when ripe. depending on the variety, avocados have green, brown, purplish, or black skin when ripe, and may be pear-shaped, egg-shaped, or spherical. commercially, the fruits are picked while immature, and ripened after harvesting. the high fat and smooth texture of avocados make it a useful and diverse food in different cuisines, and is traditionally important in mexican foods. the high nutritional value and concentration of fat, make avocados a commonly used food in vegetarian foods and generally is thought nutritious and healthy.

Brandy

Brandy is a liquor produced by distilling wine. brandy generally contains 35–60% alcohol by volume (70–120 us proof) and is typically consumed as an after-dinner digestif. some brandies are aged in wooden casks. others are coloured with caramel colouring to imitate the effect of aging, and some are produced using a combination of both aging and colouring. varieties of wine brandy can be found across the winemaking world. among the most renowned are cognac and armagnac from southwestern france.in a broader sense, the term brandy also denotes liquors obtained from the distillation of pomace (yielding pomace brandy), or mash or wine of any other fruit (fruit brandy). these products are also called eau de vie (which translates to "water of life").

Camel milk

Camel milk has supported nomad and pastoral cultures since the domestication of camels millennia ago. herders may for periods survive solely on the milk when taking the camels on long distances to graze in desert and arid environments. the camel dairy farming industry has grown in australia and the united states, as an environmentally friendly alternative to cow dairy farming using a species well-adapted to arid regions. camel milk has different nutritional characteristics from cow milk, but the proportions of nutrients can be highly variable based on a number of factors, including type and age of camel, climate, what it eats, and milking method. it can be used to make products such as yogurt and ice cream, but is not so easily turned into butter or cheese.

Drink

Cognac

Cognac ( kon-yak, also us: kohn-, kawn-, french: [kɔɲak] (listen)) is a variety of brandy named after the commune of cognac, france. it is produced in the surrounding wine-growing region in the departments of charente and charente-maritime. cognac production falls under french appellation d'origine contrôlée (aoc) designation, with production methods and naming required to meet certain legal requirements. among the specified grapes, ugni blanc, known locally as saint-émilion, is most widely used. the brandy must be twice distilled in copper pot stills and aged at least two years in french oak barrels from limousin or tronçais. cognac matures in the same way as whiskies and wines barrel-age, and most cognacs spend considerably longer "on the wood" than the minimum legal requirement.

Espresso

Espresso ( (listen), italian: [eˈsprɛsso]) is a coffee-brewing method of italian origin, in which a small amount of nearly boiling water (about 90 °c or 190 °f) is forced under 9–10 bars (900–1,000 kpa; 130–150 psi) of pressure through finely-ground coffee beans. espresso coffee can be made with a wide variety of coffee beans and roast degrees. espresso is the most common way of making coffee in southern europe, especially in italy, france, spain and portugal. it is also popular in switzerland, croatia, bulgaria, greece, and in australia. espresso is generally thicker than coffee brewed by other methods, with a viscosity similar to that of warm honey. this is due to the higher concentration of suspended and dissolved solids, and the crema on top (a foam with a creamy consistency). as a result of the pressurized brewing process, the flavors and chemicals in a typical cup of espresso are very concentrated. espresso has more caffeine per unit volume than most coffee beverages, but because the usual serving size is much smaller, the total caffeine content is less than a mug of standard brewed coffee. the actual caffeine content of any coffee drink varies by size, bean origin, roast method and other factors, but a typical 28 grams (1 ounce) serving of espresso usually contains 64.5 milligrams of caffeine, whereas a typical serving of drip coffee usually contains 150 to 200 mg.the three dispersed phases in espresso are what make this beverage unique. the first dispersed phase is an emulsion of oil droplets. the second phase is suspended solids, while the third is the layer of gas bubbles or foam. the dispersion of very small oil droplets is perceived in the mouth as creamy. this characteristic of espresso contributes to what is known as the body of the beverage. these oil droplets preserve some of the aromatic compounds that are lost to the air in other coffee forms. this preserves the strong coffee flavor present in the espresso.espresso is the base for various coffee drinks, including caffè latte, cappuccino, caffè macchiato, caffè mocha, flat white, and caffè americano.

Gin

Gin is a distilled alcoholic drink that derives its predominant flavour from juniper berries (juniperus communis).gin originated as a medicinal liquor made by monks and alchemists across europe, particularly in southern italy (salerno), flanders and the netherlands, to provide aqua vita from distillates of grapes and grains. it then became an object of commerce in the spirits industry. gin became popular in england after the introduction of jenever, a dutch and belgian liquor that was originally a medicine. although this development had been taking place since the early 17th century, gin became widespread after the 1688 glorious revolution led by william of orange and subsequent import restrictions on french brandy. gin subsequently emerged as the national alcoholic drink of england. gin today is produced in different ways from a wide range of herbal ingredients, giving rise to a number of distinct styles and brands. after juniper, gin tends to be flavoured with botanical/herbal, spice, floral or fruit flavours or often a combination. it is commonly consumed mixed with tonic water in a gin and tonic. gin is also often used as a base spirit to produce flavoured, gin-based liqueurs, for example sloe gin, traditionally produced by the addition of fruit, flavourings and sugar.

Drink

Soft drinks

A soft drink (see § terminology for other names) is a drink that usually contains water (often carbonated), a sweetener, and a natural and/or artificial flavoring. the sweetener may be a sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, fruit juice, a sugar substitute (in the case of diet drinks), or some combination of these. soft drinks may also contain caffeine, colorings, preservatives, and/or other ingredients. soft drinks are called "soft" in contrast with "hard" alcoholic drinks. small amounts of alcohol may be present in a soft drink, but the alcohol content must be less than 0.5% of the total volume of the drink in many countries and localities if the drink is to be considered non-alcoholic. types of soft drinks include lemon-lime drinks, orange soda, cola, grape soda, ginger ale, and root beer. soft drinks may be served cold, over ice cubes, or at room temperature. they are available in many container formats, including cans, glass bottles, and plastic bottles. containers come in a variety of sizes, ranging from small bottles to large multi-liter containers. soft drinks are widely available at fast food restaurants, movie theaters, convenience stores, casual-dining restaurants, dedicated soda stores, vending machines, and bars from soda fountain machines. within a decade of the invention of carbonated water by joseph priestley in 1767 inventors in britain and in europe had used his concept to produce the drink in greater quantities, with one such inventor, j. j. schweppe, forming schweppes in 1783 and selling the world's first bottled soft drink. soft drink brands founded in the 19th century include r. white's lemonade in 1845, dr pepper in 1885 and coca-cola in 1886. subsequent brands include pepsi, irn-bru, sprite, fanta and 7 up.

Tella

Tella or talla (amharic ጠላ; oromo: farsoo, tigrinya: siwa) is a traditional beer from ethiopia. it is brewed from various grains, typically teff and sorghum. depending on region, barley, wheat, or maize may be used; spices can also be added. dried and ground shiny-leaf buckthorn leaves are used for fermentation. due to the addition of bread and use of a fermentation vessel which has been smoked over dried olive wood or abyssinian rose wood, tella may have a smoky flavour. the alcohol content of unfiltered tella is usually around 2–4 volume percent, filtered tella contains about 5–6 vol%.tella is often home-brewed. it may be offered in tella houses (tellabet), usually in regular homes, where people meet and talk to each other.tella was commonly used for kiddush by the beta israel (ethiopian jews). tella was used because wine was often unavailable. due to the availability of wine in israel, ethiopian-israelis generally use wine for kiddush instead of tella.

Drink

Arabica coffee

Coffea arabica (), also known as the arabic coffee, is a species of flowering plant in the coffee and madder family rubiaceae. it is believed to be the first species of coffee to have been cultivated, and is currently the dominant cultivar, representing about 60% of global production. coffee produced from the (less acidic, more bitter, and more highly caffeinated) robusta bean (c. canephora) makes up most of the remaining coffee production. arabica coffee originates from ethiopia and was first cultivated in yemen, and documented by the 12th century. coffea arabica is called ‏بُنّ‎ (būnn) in arabic, borrowed from the oromo "buna".

Awash

The production of wine in ethiopia can be traced to the early centuries of the first millennium a.d. the historian richard pankhurst observed that early references to axumite wine can be found in one of the stele erected by the 4th century ruler ezana. aksumite viticulture is also attested to by carvings on the base of the great 3rd century obelisk at axum. the traditional honey wine tej has also long been widely popular. contemporary viticulture in ethiopia dates to 1956, to the establishment of the awash winery by entrepreneur mulugeta tesfakiros and ras mesfin sileshi. as of 2014 the awash winery had an annual output of 10 million bottles, most of which is consumed locally. in 2014 the french beverage corporation castel began producing wines of a number of varieties on a 120-hectare estate near ziway in the ethiopian rift valley. as of 2013 annual production was 3 million bottles, approximately half of which was exported, mainly to china.climatic and geographic conditions in the central portion of its great rift valley make ethiopia well suited to viticulture. annual rainfall measures about 650 mm, temperatures average 25 degrees celsius per year and the region enjoys sandy soils, which are ideal conditions for wine production. furthermore, due to ethiopia's proximity to the equator, it is possible to make two harvests per year. the western slopes of the ethiopian highlands also enjoy an inland mediterranean climate, also conducive to wine-growing.
