Never had Ethiopian food before and I'm going to an Ethiopian restaurant within the next few days, what are the staples I should try my first time?

Try the Ayn Rand no gubmint special.
You're thinking of Somalia
We hate it cus it’s ethnic, therefore it’s trash
No, we hate it because every damn thing they make looks like it's already been digested by at least two other people before finding its way to your plate.
Also globohomo keeps pushing this vegetarian slop like we should be happy to eat this instead of real food
Just tell them to plop whatever slop onto the injera and that's it. They'll certainly have a sampler of some sort so that's what you should get.
I will never eat foreign foods
morbidly obese hands typed this post
t. pig sphincter eater
These threads pop up and always seem to go " oh wow I was skeptical but once an Ethiopian place opened near me I was amazed" but every picture posted is always just varying puddles of muck with these crepelike tortillas. What am I missing here?
probably the flavours and textural experience which can't be fully conveyed through a picture
Some globohomo bot promoting a shitty sustenance diet
Same way how mentioning keto will bring out bots saying meat will destroy your heart
>sustenance diet
lol, as opposed to what
a subsistence diet?
retard alert
it's really good shit
i can understand why those naggers are always starving they probably don't store and can't help themselves
>I have no idea what I'm looking at so I just call it 'muck' to hide my ignorance
OK, creamed corn, hormel chili, squash, and cranberry sauce. naggers really just dumped a bunch of shit from the canned food isle on a shitty pita
it looks like various canned foods, salad from a ag and shitty bread. The green liquid intrigues me, but that's about it. At least with indian food, curry looks like good sloppa and naan bread is actually amazing
Just because something looks like slop doesn't mean it tastes bad. Most curries from all around the world just looks like sloppa.
That being said, anyone calling Ethiopian cuisine good is probably just trying to look cultured, its shit.
>oh wow I was skeptical but once an Ethiopian place opened near me I was amazed
I had ethiopian food and it was very mediocre
African food is just sloppa LARPing as culture.
Its glamorizing african cuisine. Because its rascist that no cuisine worthwhile is black and sooty and swarty.
Who wants to promote globohomo? Guess once..
>Caribbean food
>Ethiopian food
>Nigerian food
Black cuisine is pretty good unless it's "soul food" with five cups of sugar per dish. Plantains are one of the tastiest starches too
That's all just facts tbh
>Plantains are one of the tastiest starches too
No.
I love Caribbean cuisines and what little I've had of African stuff but plantain is easily the worst starch.
soulfood mogs the shit out of any of the trash you listed.
>globohomo
I don't even like Ethiopian food, but get the fuck outta here with your /misc/homosexual attitude
Culinaly is /misc/
We're not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with us
Lol you're a fag
anyway, Ethiopian food is good. Stick to the lamb, beef, and veg stuff.
So did you guys hit your quota on the other boards? How does that work
I just like Ethiopian food, anon. So do a lot of people. It's good.
Bullshit hare krishna's better and it's free
>Culinaly is /misc/
and /misc/ is /lgbt/
Its fine its like milder indian mostly.
staples are misir, tibs (awaze if you like it Hispanicy), gomen, alicha (im just guessing at the romanizations but the spelling should be close to that)
Those Flatbreads look aggressively chewy and bland. Let us know how they turn out OP.
It's not chewy. It's soft, spongy, and sour. It's called injera. And it sucks.
Skip the food and have their coffee. If they have cake there then get that. Their coffee is pretty great
I just know Doro Wat.
Ask for the diarrhea on molsy wet towels and a glass of filthy dishwater. That'll do it.
At least poos have presentable food, this shit is embarassing
i think ethiopians eat ful-medames too
but their version of it.
thats what I would try
nothing like foul madams to scrub the pipes.
An arab and I don’t like ful. Am I a traitor?
/pol/
serious reply, i live next to an etheopian place and it fucking rocks. it's super cheap and very tasty.
I usually share a 2 meat 2 veg combo which will usually include yebeg alicha (lamb), minchet abish deqa (some kinda beef stew), miser wet (lentils), shiro wet (chickpeas), sometimes i will get the kik alicha which is split peas i think. doro wet is also good, but it's just a chicken leg and boiled egg in sauce so not as filling if ur hungry.
eat it with ur hands scooping it up with little pieces of injira (the bread) and shit is so kino cash
Youre a homosexual
honey wine
I forgot about this shit. It's delicious and easy to get really hammered on
>It's delicious and easy to get really hammered on
this is how my first time having honey wine went
Lomotil (or Immodium, if you can't get a prescription)
Did anyone else as a kid think that Ethiopians legitimately had no food in the entire country?
They've been recycling it since Haile Selassie died.
I wondered how there could be Ethiopian restaurants and Ethiopian famine at the same time.
Most of the kids here still think that, even though the famine was like 40 years ago.
They literally destroyed all their farmland and still have not recovered
lmaoooo literally just go plants some crops loooool the only things struggling to survive in ethiopia are ethiopians lmaooooooooo
>the only things struggling to survive in ethiopia are ethiopians lmaooooooooo
not true they have some monkeys and....a goat
>Flowing fresh water
>Plants growing no problems
No reason for them to be starving besides their own inability to farm.
Yeah, they're not exactly thriving, but most of that is a combination of frequent drought and the fact that they're in a civil war. The last time there was actual famine was in the mid 80's. That's where the idea of "finish your food, there are starving children in Africa" comes from.
>poop and vomit on carpet underpadding
No thanks
Awaze tibs, or just the selection dish which they will certainly serve. The selection will have a lot of vegetarian stuff so if you just want meat, Awaze tibs
Doro Wat
Tibs
If you can I highly recommend Kitfo (raw or lightly cooked meat Hispaniced so it's edible) but some Ethiopian places won't cook it
UN relief rations?
The forgot to put them in the oven.
>mushy veggies Britain
🙁
>mushy veggies Black
:O
Why are Americans like this?
both are bad
idky, but I don't think of people from the Horn as Black folks. Weird, right? My ex is Black and we went to an Ethiopian resto with the bitch's mother and she was upset that the Ethiopians seemed to, in her view, act like they were better than her. Neither my ex nor I noticed any slights or anything but she imagined they were treating her badly and said, loudly, "I don't know why they act like they're any better than us. Look like niggas to me."
It should be noted my ex never used that word at all so I was taken aback to hear my MiL say it.
Anyway, clearly, my ex's mother would agree with you that they're Black folks.
Gosh, she always caused scenes when we out anywhere with her now that I think of it.
who the fuck asked?
My boss is first generation Nigerian immigrant. He shit talks American born blacks any chance he gets. They do in fact think they are better
>Never had Ethiopian food before
Neither have Ethiopians.
>what are the staples I should try my first time
Typically you just order a combination plate (either vegetarian or with meat) instead of choosing each individual thing.
Get what's in your picture.
Sloppa Shit done 8 ways with a Pizza Hut salad.
Miser wot is my current go-to. Kitfo is an experience, although not for everyone. Those are my recommendations but try a sampler with multiple items if you're not sure. Get some tea to go with it if possible.
these threads make it too easy to spot the children reared on fast food

whoa now don't go punching a hole in the wall because mommy bought the wrong nuggies
ill kill that bitch if she ever does that
>implying plating and presentation aren't long celebrated aspects of cuisine across multiple cultures' culinary traditions
Lmfao. As if on cue, the pseud shows up to enlighten us with their sophomoric understanding of culture and global cuisine.
>muh presentation
It's subjective homosexual. Injera and wots are comfort foods. Like mashed potatoes and gravy, red beans and rice, pea soup. Just simple, nourishing ingredients augmented with flavorful Hispanices at a cost that won't break the bank. How does this board attract so many tards who don't like food or cooking?
We don't like fucking skinnies
Go die homosexual. You're not a part of the discourse.
>racists complaining about being percieved as racists
Hahaha. Love to see it, please continue. Literally no one is mad but you hahaha.
Also...
>crying globohomo on the WORLD. WIDE. WEB.
Whites with no cerebral cortex confirmed. You can just leave, dude. You won't be missed 🙂
>no one is mad but you hahaha
And anybody else tricked into eating this sludge and paper towel bread
have you actually had ethiopian food
OP here, thanks for the suggestions, food I had was pretty great and I'll go back to the place. No honey wine there unfortunately.
And fuck you to the homosexuals posting stupid shit
how did you find the texture
no real thoughts, I eat Indian food often so it was sort of like that but not as "heavy" so to speak
Doro wat and awaze tibs.
Ethiopian food is some of the best in the world.
This is unironically the first time I've heard "I'm going to have Ethiopian food" used literally, and not as a euphemism for skipping a meal
i looooove ethiopian food it is the best i eat it at least once a day i live next to an ethiopian place the food is very flavorful and very cheap my friend click clack clack who owns it always gives me free ipera and i could eat their timbs every meal they melt in your mouth ethiopian food IS the best and im not lying
is clickity clack brickle brack black?
veggie sampler and coffee are all you need
Do get the coffee. it's very good. ask them not to bring the incense if the menu says they will. that shit is worse than acoustic cigarettes.
>babyfood with floopy soggy "bread"
That will be $78.47 please
>Never had Ethiopian food
I mean... The Ethiopians had never Ethiopian food either... Maybe that's why... Ahem..
