ETHIOPIAN FOOD Is Unlike Anything I've Ever Tried Before 

I know Ethiopians , they have a lot of beautiful culture and amazing food! Nice and very discipline people!!

I grew up eating excellent Ethiopian in Washington D.C., but then we moved to Tampa, FL and for years no restaurants. Finally we got some Ethiopian cuisine again. I introduced my hubby to it back in 1996, he fell in love. Real injera is made with teff flour which is super healthy, but lots of restaurants have hard time getting teff. I love the veggie dishes. This is one of the most under appreciated but best tasting cuisines out in the world!

Indians and Ethiopians have a lot In similarities due to our food having similar spices and the food being “ spicy “ for outsiders we do have spicy sauces that you can get with certain foods but you didn’t get any of them in this video so it’s fine . Yes we eat the salad with the Injera as well but if you like you can eat it with a fork. When we’re eating with others on a big plate we eat on whatever side is towards us and everybody can portion whatever amount they want. Yes I’m Ethiopian culture we are taught to only eat with our right hands and leave the left hand for cleaning purposes. Thank you for trying 😅

Enjera is made up of the crop called "Teff" which is very endemic and organic plant of Ethiopia. thank you for introducing it. we have a lot such foods

Thank you for trying our traditional food ❤️❤️🇪🇹

thank you for testing our food. A bit about teff; Enjera is out of "teff" which is a gluten free and very rich with the mineral iron. It can grow only in Ethiopia as far as I know. A lot of research is going on because of its unique health & nutritional value. Bier is already. One very amazing; it fails when try to prepare injera out of Ethiopia😥😥😥

Thank you for trying our delicious food,I hope you like it.we usually eat with right hand but it doesn’t matter some left handed people they eat with their left hands.🙏💚💛❤️

I am Ethiopian and I love seeing people trying Ethiopian food. Sir, yes you are doing well with the size of the injera piece. You also did a great job explaining the different flavours of the plater. I love what you said about the flavour is awakened every time you try a different one, as my partner is Canadian who absolutely love my cooking, he always says there is a party in your mouth when you eat Ethiopian food 😅 I love Indian food as well but we do use similar spices but different combinations that make it taste different. We have a very slight similarities I will say but, definitely not the same because of how we combine our spices but mostly the same spices. We also have our number one ingredient in every spicy Ethiopia dishes that is called Berbere which is hot chilli pepper powder that contains over 12 different spices in it that is only found in Ethiopian dishes. You can add Berbere virtually in everything you cook and you will never be disappointed. In regards to which hand to use in our culture we only use our right hand to eat because our left hand is used to clean not so pleasant things even though you wash it thoroughly, You simply don’t use the same hand for both ends if you know what I mean lol 😅 Kudos to you go out your comfort zone and try different food from every culture enjoy life!

Ethiopan food is very helthy👌, Injera is made of teff and it is gluotten fri. Well done👍

መልካም ምግብ የጤፍ እንጀራ ለጤንነት በጣም ጠቃሚ ነው።።

Ethiopia food best👌💚💛❤እንጀራን ለኛ ተውልን ጤፍ ተወዶብኛል 😊

Thanks for share Ethiopian food❤❤😋😋😋

Ethiopia EST Africa the best country on the world 🌎

Wow great choice who ever go to Ethiopia started eating this food they never stop eating in their life you have great heart and test thanks for trying and it is very healthy spices have antioxidants s

I am from Ethiopia I appreciate that very much

Ethiopia is Africa's oldest independent country and its second largest in terms of population. Apart from a five-year occupation by Mussolini's Italy, it has never been colonised

This is calm and nice to watch; lovely seeing someone who is new or neutral to the whole "injera & wot" cuisine and how its approached from the words to describe taste and flavours. All legit questions were asked and good assumptions were made here. The piece you showed is a good portion for one gursha/bite. The yellow saus was a split pea saus. I think its easier to eat the salade with fork for many reasons. A one bite/scope can be rolled or folded to cover all the scooped item in it like gift wrapping for a swift bite... so that nothing lingers around your lips when feeding yourself or someone else (giving a gursha). You can have a bit bigger piece to scope two saus. About the butter, in Ethiopia butter is made from raw milk and processing it for food means that it gets clarified with some spices and dried herbs on a heat until its cooked. Then setteled and filterd and stored in a dark cold place if there is no refrigerator. Maybe it's like the indian ghee). In short about injera: normally made of just only with Teff flour and leftover batch yeasting batter fermented for few days before baked on a clay round plate. The honeycomb cells on it are to suck-up and grip the sauses/ wot.

Oh my God you make me hungry. I love the way they cook and eat .I love the people and culture. Thanks for sharing. Try the coffee ☕

Love it. Thanks for intoducing Ethiopian food. ❤❤❤the food "kitfo" specially great👌👌👌

A comprehensive and a pragmatic approach to ethiopian food, and how to eat it. Good and Honest content

thanks for promoting our original ethiopian food, keep going we are with you ok! Next i expect about ethiopian 'shiro' ሽሮ

I'm glad you got the chance to try. Hope you like Ethiopian food. You are absolutely right the good injera makes a big difference to the flavor of the food in general.

I am from Eritrea 🇪🇷 and thank you for liking our food(Enders)

You made my mouth salivate while eating ETHIOPIAN Food!

Mate after watching your video I had to go try some Ethiopian food and I made sure I invited an Ethiopian coworker to make it more fun. I have to say it has become one of my favorite food to eat now I take my friend and family. One of my friend is vegan he is impressed with variety of dishes and taste

Wow That Is Good To See you eat injera enjoy with Ethiopian Food

Thanks g for testing our Ethiopian traditional food 🍱 👍✊🏾

The best food ! Thanks for sharing!

This is so interesting and fun. I never thought Ethiopian food required tutorial.

Love you Ethiopian 🇪🇹🇪🇹

It’s okay if you’re left handed, you can’t help it. just use whichever is convenient to you. thanks for you introducing our food.

Thank you that you exercise Ethiopian Food,as you said it is different from the rest of the world, specially the spices and flavor..

Thankyou my son bless you to show our most loved food....really thanks..Next time try our "Genfo" it a porridge and a bit different from other countries 😀

that is one out of mass. እናመሰግናለን! አንተ ከብዙው አንዷን ዓይተሀል! ሌሎቹንም ቀምሰህ አረጋግጥ። "በጥበብ፣ በእምነት፣ በባህል፣ በቅርስ፣ በመልከዓ ምድር አቀማመጥና አየር ንብረቷ፣ በፊደሏ፣ እንዲሁም በታሪክ ኢትዮጵያ ከዓለም የተለየች ናት፣ ህዝቧም መልኩ እንደ ነብር ዥንጉርጉር፤ ስራውም ድንቅ ነው" የሚለውን በተግባር አረጋግጥ። You saw one of many! Taste the others and make sure. In practice, prove that "in wisdom, in faith, in culture, in heritage, in geography, in its alphabet, and in history Ethiopia is different from the world, and its people are like leopards; and its works are wonderful."

Good observation on the enjera being the common denominator and it's essential to have a good enjera

Netir butter is a clarified butter with a lot of spices. It has incredible aroma and makes any food test better.

The food looks yummy and the way you ate is perfect. From Canada 😁

That's the right size and am amazed with your rolling technique. you look like a pro. Injera is made of Teff grain. I believe it is the smallest grain on earth, cultivated in Ethiopia and Eritrea. it's a staple food here. Enjoy and thanks for trying our food.

Salu . . . .from Ethiopia!በጣም እናመሰግናለን (Thank you very much)

thank you testing our traditional food!!! the one you tested for business used you need to test homemade you will loved it more!!!!

I am an Ethiopian and the food is so so good 😀

I am Ethiopian. We Ethiopians have many amazing traditions. injera is one of them. injera was first discovered in Ethiopia.

You did amazing.... it's definitely your kind food because you know good health flavourful food. The bone is left there for extra flavor....the good thing about eating with your hand you feel what you putting in your mouth.

Liked the video. The salad is served on the same plate normally. They separate it for to-go orders because it will wilt. Ethiopian cheese(ricotta like) is missing on your plate. Never seen kitfo served without it before. Mixing each bite produces an endless amount of flavor. The issue with the hands is out of tradition, but has two practical purposes. 1. When you eat in a round table and share foods, your hands will not collide. (My brother used to sometimes use his left hand and our hands would collide.) 2. Some cultures use the left hand in the rest room. That is the main reason for the rule. Also, once people wash their hands they close the right hand and only use the left for opening doors, etc. until they get to the table. Left hand can be used to tear injera at times, but each person has their own roll.

Great video and yes, it’s the right size. You’re also very considerate in thinking that because it’s a shared platter/meal, you’re supposed to be mindful in how you use your fingers and the enjera. When eating with others..you ought not to overreach everywhere and use etiquette so as to not turn off others that are sharing the meal with you. By the way, if you don’t want the enjera to give you a very stuffed feeling when you’re done eating, ask for a ‘pure teff’ enjera. It’s the real deal free of any mixing with other forms of flour. It might cost more but worth it bc it’s organic, gluten free, tasty and much healthier. Thanks again for sharing your experience.

Wow you have great heart and test and it is healthy spice had good antioxidants

You make me hungry man yameee I love Ethiopia food. Ethiopian food is one of the best and healthiest food in the world.

You did a good job 🙂 explaining. And you kept your hands neat

"nitir butter" is a butter which is spiced with a selection of Ethiopian spices.

You’re right, Indian food is almost look similar, but the tast is very different. For the first time tasting Ethiopian food, you’re doing real good at scooping it with the right peace of injera. Ethiopian food is delicious. You also explaining it very well.

This is your first time? You are actually holding the Injera quite correctly. Good job and hope you enjoyed it!

U are really good as a starter! And thank you for liking our food 😊 Next time try (Doro Wet) chicken stew. That is our special food.

Thanks a lot for your suggestion we Ethiopians are wise and brilliant!!!!!!💌💌💌👍👍👍👍👍

I really enjoyed watching you eating that delicious Ethiopian food! My dinner was Injera with Doro Wot ( Chicken Stew)but when I looked at you rolling the injera & scooping the wot, It made me feel like eating all over again! 😂 Brilliant show✊🏽🙏🏽❤️🇪🇹❤

For the first timer you are doing well. When you eat Ethiopian food this are the most important steps you take 1. First you wash your hand and mouth very clearly (No need to pick a lot because of the dirty fingers. The dirty fingers must be washed before start eating) 2. Gather with people and wait for everyone to come around 3. Start eating 4. Enjoy P.S. Usually It is recommended to eat with your right hand Great work my friend. Thumbs up

Injera is not a wheat product, its ''Teff'' Unique to our country Ethiopia, txs for sharing

I like it how the way you combine the enjera and the woit(all the different combination of food thank you tasted and like it my country food. You should alsoknow learn how to Cook Ethiopian food also you can get a chance to eat more often. If this is your first time to eat Ethiopian food you are smart kerp it up!

Its a correct size and you're doing good thanks for showing our food and try 'Doro wet' next time it's a very delicious chicken sauce

What a great experience for you , and thank you for sharing 👍🇲🇱✌️

Wawww lmiss you Enjera thank you visite Ethiopian food brather👍👍👍👌👌💚💛❤️

Excellent video. Well done 👏 ✔️

Ethiopia food is flavour,delicious,tasty ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

the best food.. enjira for life 😍❤️ i ate it from dubai.. 🥰

I enjoyed ur video a lot 🙏

@Very Nice. Yes, your cut of the injera pieces is a tad/bit too big for an Ethiopian. Start with smaller cuts of injera & gradually determine the size of injera piece you are comfortable with. Also, in take-out containers, the lid of the container is used as "an extra plate" on which to put the spare injera rolls provided. All in all, it looks fantastic & appetizing.

You also don't have to always scoop from just one type of sauce every time. You can mix two or three types that way you will have an explosion of different flavors in your mouth at the same time. Yummy!

it is vary good i like this food🇪🇹🇪🇹

I appreciate your openness. The injera bite you take at a time depends on the person. Usually, men has big bite than females. If you have no much experience eating Ethiopian food, that might be difficult to rate the food taste. When you source the food, get from different restaurants to compare and find the better taste.

wow❤️❤️❤️ሰላም እግዚአብሔር ይመስገን ሰላም የሀገሬ ልጆች ሰላማቹህ በክርስቶስ ይብዛ እደምድር አሸዋ እደሰማይ ከዋክብት ይብዛ አሜን አሜን አሜን

It’s very true a hole wheat bread because the very healthy injera is made out of TEFf .which is very healthy and gluten free.to find the teff is very expensive and will be costly the people to serve that injera.

Really thanks to introduced my legend food

Holy moly! That is awesome

Delicious well done 👍

Natural butter I think the one we use in our traditional foods like ketfo we melt it by different types of seasoning.

So cool bless the food

You're right about trying to keep your hands less messy because you're sharing, but as long as you've washed them before and don't lick them, don't worry about getting some of the stuff on you! And there isn't a perfect size of injera to use. It's just supposed to be a vessel for the different items on the plate, so you don't want to tear off so much that the injera flavor is standing out.

I really love ethiopian food ❤️

Love Ethiopian food, it could be addictive.

I like the way you introduce Ethiopian culture food 🥘 Before forks 🍴 invented all humans eat with fingers 🖐. So Ethiopian traditional. food eating ceremony is Like keeping in real

You are eating very well. You are neat, impressive. Use a smaller portion of injera and injera is a vegan bread made with Teff. It is very healthy. Better to use more souce less enjera otherwise you will be full quickly 😊 and better vegetables platers separately, the meat flavours are very strong to mixed up. Ethiopian foods are not similar as Indian food at all. Ethiopian food stew cooked for a long hours without blending all ingredients as Indian stew. Thank you for trying Ethiopian food.

i am glad you like our food

Injera is very popular food in Ethiopia and Eritrea. Thank you for trying our food. Just for ur info Injera is supposed to be eaten by ur right hand only even if u r lefty.

Watching you're video while baking injera

I am Ethiopian , your art of handling Enjera and Wott is very good actually !!! mixture of different types of Wott will be much more tasty!!!

Nitre butter is clarified spiced butter similar to ghee. It has black cardamom, a type of sage and sometimes other spices.

thank you for trying Ethiopian food

Let's thank the person who tried to promote our culture in good way, thank you my friend for your positive comments on Ethiopian food ,thank you

THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!

The butter is purified and called Ne-ti-re kibe ( ghea butter) or purified butter

Oh wait that's where im from, Ethiopia. I'm glad someone actually recognized our delicious food. As we Ethiopians say enamesegnalen. It means THANK YOU!

I love Ethiopian food 😋 😍 very healthy

Ethiopian/Eritrean food 🥘 is awesome!

Red tibs ( spicyBeef), cabage, split chickpea,kitfo( ground beef )Beetroot

Wow Thanks dear Ethiopia 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹 ❤️❤️❤️😍😍

Welcome to our world brother 🙏 you must be try also Ethiopian coffee ☕

Great video!

From what I see the main dish in your case is the beef/chicken. However, all other ones are side dish and yes the salad also to be eaten with injera.

Awww God Bless you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🤗

Im frm 🇪🇹. I appreciate dat bro.

Tip; if You combine from the different foods when you take a bite, you will get more burst of flavors. In fact, if you use the Injera at the bottom, soaked with all the flavors , it will give you amazing sensation.
