By John RexShortly after an Ethiopian restaurant opened here in Buffalo, a friend suggested we try it. I first encountered traditional Ethiopian food in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on Sept. 11, 1962, when I was a member of the first group of Peace Corps volunteers who had arrived in the country days earlier. It is almost impossible to describe what a truly traditional Ethiopian meal is like because it is so unlike anything else most Americans have experienced. Along with other Habitat volunteers, I visited the same round restaurant in Addis Ababa. The cuisine looked just the same, the familiar large injera with its separate mounds of spicy wat.
