How dinner works here
Injera
One of the oldest breads in the world: a big, spongy flatbread, a little sour and fresh every day. It lines the platter, and you tear off pieces to pick up the food. Photo: dbaler, Pexels.
Tsebhi
Our word for the dishes on the injera. Like at home, they start with onions cooked slowly until they melt, and most then simmer for a couple of hours. The red ones are hot with berbere, our chilli spice blend.
Sharing
Everyone eats from the same platter. There is a saying that people who share a plate will not betray each other. If you would rather use cutlery, just ask. Video: Cara, @carascrazycreations.
After dinner
Our coffee with cinnamon and ginger, or kammam chai, a spiced tea, and dessert if there is room. Most people go home warm from the berbere and a little closer to the people they came with.
