Off to Edinburgh to learn some Gaelic songs at the RSE tomorrow. Going to treat myself to some Ethiopian food afterwards, can’t get that in my area unless I make it myself
You’ll have to let me know what the Etheopian place is like then. Last time I had some was in London, a curry seved on a massive pabcake that you ate with your hands! Felt very cultural shock to me
And Brochan Lom is about as much as I can sing in Gaidhlig, so best of luck there!
Ahh, the flatbread is injera! It’s basically sourdough bread made from a grain called teff. I’ve made it myself a few times, I’m a big fan. I did indeed tear bits off and use them to scoop up the other stuff today. The Edinburgh one is Muna’s on Gillespie Place. It’s a little chaotic, but the food is lovely and the prices aren’t bad. If you fancy an alcoholic drink, the tej is good and it’s not something you’re likely to get elsewhere. It’s a herbed mead, sweet but not overwhelmingly so and faintly fizzy. Last time I was there I wound up chatting to Muna about it a bit; she makes it herself
The singing went alright, considering how much my brain fights me about singing in front of people! My lackluster Gàidhlig was enough to get me through the pronunciation a bit more smoothly than most there, which helped
