In our Habesha
culture, when we have
guests who come to our home,
we have a ceremony with special
coffee. If they have time, we make
coffee. First we cook the coffee beans
on the fire and shake the pan till the beans
are dark. Then we grind the beans. We sit in
a circle. We pour the coffee and drink it with
special small cups. Everything is prepared with
sugar or milk or however the guests want
it. Sometimes we also eat popcorn. The
talking is informal and the conversation
is pleasant and sometimes funny.
We do this here in this country
too.
