I thought it is only Coffee that bears its name primarily in relation to Ethiopia, which said to be originated (discovered) in the place/region called Kafa in South-Western Ethiopia.

What about ሎሚ (lomi)?

The term has also very similar words in different languages, starting with English (Lemon), French (Limon), German (Limette), Amharic (ሎሚ), Afan Oromo (ሎሚ), invariant in the latter two languages (someone could add from other native languages of Ethiopia).

According to Wikipedia's entry on the term:
The origin of the word lemon may be Middle Eastern.[2] The word draws from the Old French limon, then Italian limone, from the Arabic laymūn or līmūn, and from the Persian līmūn, a generic term for citrus fruit, which is a cognate of Sanskrit (nimbū, 'lime').[9]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemon#:~: ... d%20citron.




The history of coffee dates back to centuries of old oral tradition in modern-day Ethiopia and Yemen. It was already known in Mecca in the 15th century. Also, in the 15th century, Sufi monasteries in Yemen employed coffee as an aid to concentration during prayers.[1] Coffee later spread to the Levant in the early 16th century; it caused some controversy on whether it was halal in Ottoman and Mamluk society. Coffee arrived in Italy the second half of the 16th century through commercial Mediterranean trade routes, while Central and Eastern Europeans learned of coffee from the Ottomans. By the mid 17th century, it had reached India and the East Indies.

ዛሬ ደግሞ ሌላ ነገር አጋጠመኝ ና ይህ ፖስት ትዝ ኣለኝ።

ካቻአፕ (Kachaap) የምል ነገር፣ ወይ ጉድ አልኩኝ፣ ይሄ ደግሞ ምን ይሁን ብዬ። ቲማቲምን ተከትሎ ካችዓፕም መጣ ወደ አገራችን፣ የማይመጠ የለም ና አልኩኝ። በምግብነት ደረጃ ከቻፕን በጣም ነዉ የምጠላዉ፣ አይጥመኝም። እዚህ ደግሞ ስሙም ራሱ ደበረኝ።

ለመሆኑ ቲማቲም ከመቼ ጀምሮ ነዉ ኢትዮጵያ ዉስጥ የምመረተዉ? ፈረንጆችን ተከትሎ ነዉ የመጠዉ?

Timaatima gara Kachaappiitti

According to Wikipedia Tomato was first cultivated in Latin America and from there brought to Europe and from Europe landed in Africa, following the footsteps of colonialism.

Is that account really true?

I didn't know that it is a new product when my late parents were growing it in the garden.
