YELLOWKNIFE, N.W.T.—Finding Ethiopian food in the Canadian North shouldn’t be a surprise in these multicultural times, but somehow it is. And maybe the fresh air and 24-hour sunlight altered my perceptions, but the food at Zehabesha Traditional Ethiopian Restaurant was the most richly flavourful I’ve had — and I’ve had a lot. Their four-page menu covers most of the same ground as Ethiopian spots everywhere, though curried goat with green spicy sauce is unusual and the roast beef wrap is surely a nod to local tastes. My vegan combo platter (yetsom beyayantu) had an impressive nine vegetable and lentil dishes for $18.95, and the delicious injera was homemade with teff and barley flour. A few other Yellowknife food thoughts.
