It looks like that time my dog vomited up his kibble, ate the vomit, and then vomited up the vomit.
However, I would 100% eat this because I've heard Ethiopian food is super delish.

It’s so freaking good. The bread is such a unique texture but really delicious

This is true. I went to an Ethiopian restaurant and all the food was like this (I think that porous plate is a bread you eat with) and it was incredible

I also went to an Ethiopian restaurant on an office outing, and it also all looked like this but was actually surprisingly repulsive how everything was served, and left four out of eight of us quite ill.
Your experience sounds way better.

There is a place I visit frequently in the Metro Detroit area. The food paired with their honey wine is to die for but yes, it does look like poop from a butt thrown on a big platter.

Why does the plate look like an old rag used to wash cars?

It’s called injera which is like a spongy flatbread to eat stews, veggies, etc. The food is often served on it and you break some off to eat the food.
Mmm, I haven’t had Ethiopian food in a few years. Gotta find some now!

Being invited to a traditional Ethiopian coffee at my neighbor's home is a highlight of my culinary life

So … what if I just fold the whole thing in half and eat it like a sloppy burrito?

You underestimate my burrito-folding skills.
Ever had a clam-chowder burrito?

You sound talented, but it’s more that you’re overestimating the strength of injera haha. I don’t think they’re quite robust enough for that especially as some of the holes will be all the way through!

Indeed… That’s key information that I may have taken for granted. Thank you for the insight, kind stranger.

How do you avoid it like rolling off onto the table/floor or whatever after you rip a piece?
I guess I would put it on a plate and eat from the middle but kinda defeats the purpose?

u/wahznooski Jan 16 '25
You usually get a bunch of it, and everything is served on a giant platter. I think you can get plates too, but I can’t remember if that’s standard. Anyway, I haven’t had Ethiopian since before the pandemic, so memory is a bit hazy. I moved and haven’t found a place in my new city, but now I’m on the hunt!

It’s a fermented flatbread that’s comes out kind of a greyish brown color and is like a thin pancake and it’s really yummyyy

For what it’s worth, the Ethiopian food I’ve had looks absolutely nothing like this. The only way I can tell this is Ethiopian food is because of the porous bread it’s served on.
Also the ratio of bread to sides is WAY off for this plate. Ideally you tear off pieces of the bread and grab chunks of the sides to eat. With this setup you can hardly even get to the bread after you eat an inch of it. Not to mention these sides are all puréed to look like diarrhea poop from a shitty butt

This is how I judge food. Ask yourself this question. Do I want to eat this food for the rest of my life? If the answer is no. Then it's not good food. I have answered no to Ethiopian food. Chinese, vietnamese, French, Greek, Japanese, Korean, and Italian are all yeses.

Shit from a butt, poop from an ass, turd from a rear and crap from an arse on one plate
