==Cuisine== {{Main|Ethiopian cuisine}} ===Oromo dishes=== The Oromo cuisine consists of various vegetable and meat side dishes and entrΓ©es. Pork is typically not in Oromo cuisine, as it is considered taboo for Orthodox Oromos and Muslim Oromos who make up over 90% of the population combined, unlike with Catholics among others. Oromo people are believed to be one of the first to have cultivated [[coffee]] in Ethiopia and recognise its energizing effect.<ref>{{citation|title=The world of caffeine : the science and culture of the world's most popular drug|url=https://archive.org/details/worldofcaffeines00benn/page/4/mode/2up|date= 2001}}</ref> [[File:Alicha 1.jpg|thumb|Typical Oromo cuisine: ''Biddena'' (pancake-like bread) and several kinds of sauce, stew (slow cooked beef, lamb, goat, chicken) and on top of entrees.]] [[File:Tibs in Yod Abyssinia.jpg|thumb|right|A ''Foon Akaawwii'': ''Foon Akaawwii'' looks like this at a restaurant in [[Addis Ababa]]]] * '''Foon Akaawwii''' β Minced roasted meat; specially seasoned. * '''Waaddii''' β Outdoor grilled meat on heat bead or wood fire. * '''[[Coccinia abyssinica|Anchotte]]''' β A common dish in the western part of Oromia (Wallaga), made from a tuber crop rich in starch. * '''Baduu''' β Liquid remaining after milk has been curdled and strained (cheese) * '''Maarqaa''' β [[Porridge]] made from wheat, honey, milk, chili and spices. * '''[[Kita fit fit|Chechebsaa]]''' β Shredded [[Injera]] stir-fried with chili powder and cheese. * '''Qoocco''' β Also known as ''kocho'', it is not the Gurage type of kocho but a different kind; a common dish in the western part of Oromia. * '''Itto''' β Comprises all sorts of vegetables (tomato, potato, ginger, garlic), meat (lamb) * '''Chukkoo''' β Also known as ''Micira''; a sweet flavor of whole grain, seasoned with butter and spices.<ref>{{Citation|title=Ethiopia: Special Cuisines As a Symbol of Oromo Lifestyle|date=15 September 2020|url=https://allafrica.com/stories/202009150715.html|access-date=September 15, 2020}}</ref> * '''Chororsaa''' β A spiced mixture of cheeses, butter, and yogurt, topped on a bread made from black teff known as 'Chumboo'.
