Oh how I love this question. What will we eat? Short answer = food haha. Long answer = lots and lots of injera with wot, tibs and fitfit! Injera is the national dish in Ethiopia. Check out the delicious spread below.
This is a sampler plate that is meant to be shared by several people. To eat you rip off a piece of injera (typically comes on the side rolled up like an ACE-bandage and is also the 'plate' that the wot, tibs, firfir and veggies are sitting on) and then you use the injera as a vessel to grab and scoop up the goodness. This requires a certain level of dexterity. To keep your fingers and face clean without spilling takes a bit of practice. Injera is a yeast-risen flatbread that has a unique, spongy texture that is cooked over a clay plate much like a crepe. Injera is typically made with teff. Teff is one of tiniest grains in the world with a diameter of 1/32" . I know what you are thinking, "whoa carbs!!!" "If your utensil is a floppy pancake, it seems that you would be ingesting an insane amount of carbs." Thankfully, a 14"-round plate of injera (not including the stew-like goodness and veggies) is only has about 100 calories. HECK YES!!! And better yet, teff contains more calcium than milk, twice as much iron as wheat and barley, and it is high in protein and fiber. Dream jeans here I come!!!!
