That is amazing!!! Love how little moments like that can open our world to something new! We’re hooked too!!! 😋

♥️

That is so amazing to hear! Thank you so much, your support truly means a lot to us!

That is amazing! We would love to visit there some day!!!

Right!!!! That is the best part, eating the most delicious food, AND feeling good about it afterward! I completely agree with you about that sense of connection you get eating with your hands too. Thanks so much for your comment, it is so exciting to hear from someone else who is as excited about this amazing cuisine as we are :)

But like we eat everything with our hand in the US… sandwich, chicken, pizza, fries, burger, hotdog, a lot of Mexican food and on and on… it’s really not a foreign concept to American food. Also, it’s only logical to eat Ethiopian food with your hands, it’s like chips and salsa - wouldn’t make sense to eat it with a fork.

Thank you so much! You HAVE to try it, SO GOOD!!!

That is so true!!! Thank you for pointing this out, truly beautiful to think about.

Yay! Thank you so much!!!

Thank you so much! Now I am too haha. Ethiopian food is the best!!!

Thank you so much Noah! That is so cool to hear. What other earthy/ herbal flavored dishes do you enjoy? We would love to try them! Oh no, it seems we have spent to much time in Mexico in the past year, and we're pronouncing my "j"s the Spanish way 😂, thank you for letting us know!

@@letsmadventure Of course! A couple of dishes come to mind, both of them being different variations of bread. One is a soft mildly sweet bread called Himbasha, often eaten during breakfast with tea/chai/or coffee (i personally love to dip it in the chai a bit, it soaks up the herbal flavors and compliments it well!). The other is called Kitcha, it’s more versatile as in it can be eaten like himbasha, for breakfast alongside some tea etc or made into more of a hearty, spice-rich dish called kitcha fit fit. This bread is more waxy and like a flatbread, very tasty. And lastly about the “j” thing, Ah 😂 that makes sense, and of course :)

That sounds delicious! We will definitely have to try this combo!

Agreed!!!

Oh no! We spent a lot of time in Mexico in the past year, and it is showing 😳. Thanks for letting us know!!!

Just seeing this comment is making me crave some 🤤

That’s amazing ♥️! Thanks so much for watching.

@@letsmadventure It is amazing ❤️...Thanks bro

We didn't, no wonder Ethiopian coffee is the best! Thanks for letting us know!

@@letsmadventure I can suggest you so many videos about ethiopia if u can react on them

Thank you :)

Thank you! You're right, it is SO delicious!

Thank you so much 😀

Oh my gosh so good to know!!! We’ve spent a lot of time in Mexico in the last year, so I guess our Spanish pronunciations have slipped into other parts of life 😬. Thanks so much for telling us!!!

in-hera lol 😂.. it's not hesus it's Jesus..

It is! We actually recently went on a quick 24 hour trip to DC to meet with friends, and we made sure we made the time to visit Zenebech! It is THAT good!!!!

Us too!!!!

It is so delicious! We've started to learn to make it at home!

💚💛❤️

Thank you so much!

Isn’t it a good thing that people are showing a more accurate look at Ethiopia now?

@@letsmadventure Now, whether you show the truth or not, the damage has already been done. If you ask average Americans about Ethiopia, they will tell you what I wrote above.

Agreed!!! 🤤

Thank you!!! It was all so delicious!!!

Thank you so much Hanna!!! We definitely will 😋

🤣 Lol you're not wrong, but Ivan was forced to eat so many lentils as a kid he got sick of them 😂

@@letsmadventureI’m Ethiopian by heritage. I’m glad you got enjoy my culture and food

We've never tried Eritrean food. We would love to hear what differences you notice when you try Ethiopian! There are a lot of spices going on in these dishes too though, but its soooo delicious 😋! Definitely respect a good steak, chips and cider too though, and now this comment has me craving them! 😂

definitely prefer Ethiopian over Indian - Indian uses way too many spices for me; injera isnt messy if you know how to scoop food without touching the actual dish

@Basically, the so called "Ethiopian food" is an Ethiopian version of the Indian curry. Do you like curry dishes? Also, the so called "Eritrean & Ethiopian food" are the same. Both are a type of food that evolved in the home region of the ruling tribe of Ethiopia known as the "habesha" or the "Abyssinians" in what is today Eritrea & northern Ethiopia. Note that nearly ALL the spices & many of the ingredients used in preparing the "Ethiopia/Eritrean food" originated in India & arrived in northern Ethiopia as part of the ancient Arab maritime trade route that linked the Indian sub-continent with Egypt & the Mediterranean world. For example, legumes such as chickpeas ["shiro"!], lentils, & even the South-American chili-powder/plant, onions, etc, came to Ethiopia via India. In the past, the country we call today Ethiopia was known as "The Axumite Empire", "Abyssinia", etc, & it took part in the mentioned trading system via its port named "Adulis" - located in what is today Eritrea/Red Sea. So, for millennia, Abyssinia or Ethiopia exported mainly African slaves & ivory to Indian Sub-Continent, to Arabian Peninsula, Iran, Srilanka & even Indonesia. [Some descendants of these slaves can still be found in the Indian Sub-Continent. Few of the slaves are said to had beaten many incredible odds & got to became 'Indian army commanders' during the era when the Moguls ruled India, etc]. In return, Ethiopia/Abyssinia imported clothes, INDIAN SPICES, Indian legumes [eg: chickpeas that are so essential for making "shiro" stews in Ethiopia+Eritrea], other crops, cooking pots, etc, from the Indian Sub-continent. NOTE: The humble & tasty Ethiopian "shiro" is basically a version of the Indian "dhal". Even the all-important "berbere" [chili powder] in the Ethiopian dishes came to Eritrea+Ethiopia via the Portuguese enclave/port of Goa [India]. Of course, chili plant originated in South America & it - along many other crops such as maize, potatoes, etc, - was taken to India, Europe & Africa by the entrepreneurial Portuguese. [Guess what Africans exported in order to buy Portuguese imported maize/corn, clothes, etc? Slaves!]. So, there are lots of histories - many tragic ones - behind the humble food items &/or food cultures many of us take for granted today.

@@yaballo1 hater lol; dhal is lentil by the way; shiro is from chickpea flour not lentils; the food has a different taste from Indian cuisine - I prefer it over Indian

​@@deesee3622 - Good for you. 'Dhal' can be made from any type of legumes - chickpeas, split peas, lentils, etc. Ethiopian aka habesha 'shiro' too can be made - and is made - from ground/powdered legumes such as chickpeas, other peas, etc. Conclusion: "shiro" & most of the Ethiopian stews/dishes are basically an Ethiopian version of the Indian curry. While you are at it, can you name ONE of the spices used to prepare the habesha/Ethiopian dishes that are NOT Indian in origin?? Good Luck! .. DRUM CALL .. da da! .. du ..du!.
