Notes	Actions
Start at the park for a little 'passeggiata' ( Italian for 'stroll' ) along the two blocks or so that make up a portion of Little Italy. The Italian Centre is an italian deli/grocery store/market/coffee shop that carries all things imported from italy. A true sensory adventure. Meet at 3:00 for a prompt 3:15 departure. The coordinators will be at the park across the street from the Italian Centre by the bronze statue of Frank Spinelli. At least one of us will have our white with black ECC bandana so you can recognize us. At 5:00, we'll head for Ethiopian dinner at Abyssinia. Enjoy a traditional Ethiopian meal, eaten with your hands, and served up in the form of a stew containing lots of exotic spices. Each meal is accompanied by soft injera bread. Ethiopian cuisine is unique by way of ceremony, flavour, colour and presentation. Wot, the national dish, comes in many varieties-meat, fish, poultry or vegetable of hot pepper and spice stew which are almost always accompanied by a fermented form of unleavened bread called Injera. Layers of the bread are geometrically positioned in Mesob, or basket table, and spoonfuls of the different types of the different types of Wot are then attractively portioned out on the top of them. Then it's finger time, tearing off a piece of Injera and wrapping it around a chosen piece of meat with savoury sauce. For those not accustomed to such hot food whose ingredients include red and black pepper, cardamon, garlic and coriander, there is an alternative: Alicha is equally delicious but a lot milder and is usually made from chicken or lamb flavoured with green pepper and onion. How to: eat pronounce Note that ECC policy is to add 23% to the bill to cover 5% GST plus 18% gratuity. We try to get separate bills whenever we can, but that is usually not possible. The coordinator will calculate everyone's total based on what they ordered plus the 23%. If you disagree with this policy, please do not register for this event.
