Anybody ever had it? What's it like? I looked at a menu from an Abyssinian restaurant and didn't understand hardly any of it.
Abyssinian Food.

Isn't that basically Ethiopian cuisine?

Injura bread makes a lovely, rejuvenating facial mask.

I like injara bread by itself. Maybe with a schmear of marmite for the complete culinary culture fuck.

To be avoided if you only want to eat with fork and knife.

The spongy injera bread isn't my favorite and nor is the mushy bean/vegetable dishes that go with it. I.e. I don't like it.

I don't know why they don't call it Ethiopian food. It's very different for Western palates, but it can be very good.
But it can also be very spicey - like burn your mouth.

Ethiopian food is heavily vegetarian, as mentioned above, traditionally served on a plate-sized piece of spongy flatbread. It is not unlike southern Indian vegetarian cuisine. I've had it only a couple of times, it's an interesting novelty but not something I would seek out regularly.

It ain't no Mesopotamian food.

I don't usually like sweet wine, but the honey wine is good.

It’s like Ethiopian food - but from 100 years ago.

R15 honey wine sounds good! Never had it. Tell us more? Ethiopians do not drink water. They drink wine instead.

It looks like an overloaded diaper, although I'm sure it tastes OK.

I got one look at it and told my waiter, “Abyssinia.”

That looks like the injera that is made with teff blended with wheat flour. The brown one is better.

Injera tastes like a damp bathmat.
