Ethiopian cuisine characteristically consists of vegetable and often very spicy meat dishes, Ethiopians eat exclusively with their right hands, using pieces of injera to pick up bites of entrées and side dishes. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church prescribes a number of fasting periods including Wednesdays, Fridays, and the entire Lenten season; so Ethiopian cuisine contains many dishes that are vegan. Ethiopian dishes are the best choice if you are vegetarian or vegan.
