5. Ethiopian honey wine 

&quot;Honey wine is called tej. It has the texture of orange juice with pulp. You sip it. It&#39;s moonshine in America. Ethiopian women make it at home. A tej bottle looks like a big beer bottle, but a little bit more voluptuous, and you tip it back and drink it straight from the bottle. You can ask for it at any Ethiopian restaurant, and at first they will say no and give you almost, like, bad riesling. And then you ask them for the real thing, and their mom is making it. Every lady makes it. They make it for parties and they sell it. It&#39;s like any old Greek woman who has ouzo in the basement. I&#39;ve had tej going to Ethiopian bars—magical bars with communal tables, everybody sipping wine. It costs you like $40 to buy a hundred people drinks for the night.&quot;
