Onions are I think one of the few
things most sites have year round. Huruta, my site, is said to be
the place where all onions in the country come from.
I believe it.
When the onion market comes to town
after the harvest, so late September/early October, many sellers have
to move because the towers of onions take up so much space. These
piles are huge.
Onions here are called kai shinkirt or
red shinkirt (garlic is called nach shinkirt or white shinkirt) and
are used in pretty much every single meal the Ethiopians cook.

I would love to go to a market in Ethiopia...the food sounds tasty.
My husband would not like Ethiopian food- he hates onions! I'm a fan though. I'd love to stroll around one of those markets. :)
It sounds like onions are important.
