Ethiopian Etiquette
Anxious about eating food? Are you worried that you wonโt know what to do or not to do? Here are some tips to ease your nerves. Donโt worry, though, itโs really all about the food and the people youโre with.
The majority of Ethiopian food is served with injera, the biggest staple food of the country. Injera is a soft, flat, spongy bread. It can be made with several different types of grain, and therefore can have several different colors and flavors. Usually, it has a tangy, slightly sour taste, but it is not an overpowering flavor at all. Injera is usually served with several different wots. The traditional dish of Ethiopia is the wot, which is a mixture of meats, vegetables, spices and sauces. Wots are usually spicy, but there is such a wide variety of wots and some are not spicy. Injera is rolled into a sheet and the wots are served directly on top of it. This way the injera is serving as a plate and a utensil.
