How old is Ethiopian cuisine and the unique way of eating it? Ethiopians proudly say their cuisine goes back 3, 000 to 5, 000 years. Archaeologists and historians now believe it emerged in the first millennium A.D. in Aksum, an ancient kingdom that occupied whats now the northern region of Ethiopia and the southern region of neighboring Eritrea.
