    10:13 Americans do eat with their hands a lot, though they are not very aware of it. They use hands when eating bagels, tacos, burritos, sandwiches, hamburgers, hotdog, pizza, french fries, etc. And for fine dining, they use their hands most of the time when eating lobster or crab. And yes, eating with your hands make sense, but with clean hands of course!

    yeah, I can understand not wanting to have messy hands as a texture aversion, like I'm autistic and I know a lot of us would have an incredibly hard time being comfortable with it, even though I'm actually fine with it most of the time. But otherwise I think it can be a reflection of closed mindedness, or even someones hygiene habits lol. someone who doesn't wash their hands very often would definitely be adverse to the idea of eating food with your hands.

    If you can find a Native American restaurant that’s be great to see or aunt even reach out to a reservation. You highlighted Native American food before and it’d be awesome to see that again. It sad that there are so little places in this country to experience indigenous foods but you can get food from everywhere around the world. We just had a new Ojibwe restaurant open up on Madeline Island and it’s super exciting! I was even asked to paint a mural there which was great because the island is named after one of my ancestors.

I’m vegan now and far more consciousness about a balanced nutritious diet, and let me tell y’all traditional Ethiopian vegan dishes are the best for this. Orthodox Christian are required to fast for a lot of the year, so we’ve been making these combinations for literally hundreds of years, basic ingredients (complex spice mix) highly nutritious especially teff. Always ask for teff ingera, the darker the injera the better for you, it can border on bitter, but when mixed with the veg 🎉🎉🎉

    I mind fried chicken but for me personally it's just a dislike of having stuff feeling sticky on my fingers so I either wipe them or lick them off approximately 400 times during a single meal, or I just feel very uncomfortable the entire time. Sandwiches, appetizers, and pizza are generally dry on the outside and don't get anything more than crumbs on you and those come off on their own. I'm totally OK eating with my hands if I have a bread barrier, like scooping curry with naan, for instance. But scooping the curry with my hands feels unpleasant and I'd rather not so once I run out of naan I revert to a fork or spoon.

    I live in DC which has a large Ethiopian population, which means we have lots of Ethiopian restaurants. I always love introducing friends who visit to Ethiopian food-- they always love it. As I don't like things like sour dough bread, injera was an acquired taste for me at first, but then I learned to love it as it goes perfectly with the flavors of the food. However, as I don't eat beef, and certainly not raw, I've never had the kitfo. I absolutely love the whole fried fish, and I always order it. I also really enjoy all the vegetarian dishes. When I visited Ethiopia many years ago, it was in the spring during fasting season, so I really got a chance to sample all the various vegetarian foods. Yum. Glad you tried Ethiopian food and shared it with your audience.

    I really appreciate and would love to hear more of comparisons of what you eat with more well known or even just dishes that you know. It helps someone like me that can't imagine the spices well, see adjacent flavors and dishes. I love watching these videos 😊

    A very famous San Francisco chef said salads are made to eat with your fingers. I love the cultural pinch with a tortilla or a Ethiopian fermented bread To pick up the food.

    My biggest issue with Ethiopian food is that it is a cuisine that requires a group to eat, because the combo platters are always huge. Every time I want Ethiopian food, I need to organize a group outing.

    Best to order one or two entrees for solo eating, which is typically how it would be eaten at home. Maybe with a small salad! The restaurant food is prepared in a way that acknowledges that people from/for the culture go out to eat majority in groups 😆

    17:38 You are kinda right on that one. If you’ve had street food in Mumbai, the ‘ragda’ used in some of the chaat items is essentially cooked split peas.

    I loved this episode. I discovered Berbere watching a cooking show competition of all things, pizza and one was made using Berbere as seasoning. The reaction of those who tried it was so positive, I had to go find it and try it. At first, I sautéed some cabbage onion and mushrooms with it, and it was amazing. Everyone loved it. Since then, I use it a lot, with cut up chicken thighs; little did I know I was making something similar to chicken special tibs. Everything you tried looks delicious. BTW love watching your channel. Love it when you find similarities with food around the world. Keep enlightening us.

    Beryl, I envy you this feast. I've only eaten these delicacies once in my life, and in a large group at that, and I must admit that it's food designed for socializing. You can see that the Ethiopians have a high culinary culture and are hospitable because these dishes simply ask you to sit down, talk and eat. I send love to the proud Ethiopians and their culture. And of course for you. Great channel and even better host 😊❤ Super inclusive and full of good vibes community. What more could you want. Have a nice day 😊

Beryl, I'm glad you included a few more recomomendations in the description. I hope you do a second Ethiopian episode!

    When I lived in Los Angeles I would buy GroupOns to activities or restaurants I knew nothing about to force myself to go out and explore - that's how I discovered Ehtiopian food. I've never looked back. Every country I visit I search for Ethiopian restaurants to try new dishes and see their take on my favorites.

    I made doro wat(and sega wat too!) before sometime last year. It took awhile to make because I had to make a few different components because I didn't have access to certain ingredients. I remember it being pretty tasty. Also I dont mind eating with my hands👍 My younger brother is also someone who doesn't mind eating with his hands. He will literally eat cake with his hands😂 I love the food delivery series so it would nice to see more!🙏

    Eating food with your fingers is truly one of life's simplest and best pleasures! You get to feel the textures and temperature, it's just a wholesome sensory experience. And those who are opposed to it for hygiene reasons seem to forget sandwiches, pizza, fries (and hand washing) exist. *Edit: to people who have sensory or mobility issues, that's understandable.

    Mhmm. I love Ethiopian food. Its a great one to try if you find new foods intimidating because all of the ingredients are familiar but the spicing is so different. Gursha in Dublin in Ireland is fantastic. It started out as a supper club in a café near me and then over covid they moved to delivery and had a food truck for a while, and now they have their own permanent restaurant! They have 3 meat options and 6 veg. Doro wat Yebeg Tips Yebeg Alicha Misir Wat Shiro Wat Keysir Wat Atakilt Alicha Gomen Ater Kik Alicha All served on and with extra injeera. They still do a supper club which is kind of a set meal except you can have as many of the 9 dishes as you like and as much of them as you want but then theres also a brownie and icecream and ethiopian coffee at the end. Omg that coffe! Incredible. So fruity. Your injeera looks different to theirs which is almost grey, but I've seen someone say yours might not have teff in it? You havent mentioned the taste of it which in my experience is a strong sourdough flavour because it's a fermented batter.

    I love Ethiopian food. It is always in my Top5 of World Cusines. We had an amazing Ethiopian restaurant here in my hometown in Germany - unfortunately is has closed many years ago. Luckily I had a colleague from Ethiopia and she and her sisters told me many original recipes which I am now able to cook myself for me and friends. They also told me how to make Tej and Tella - so our Ethiopian foodie nights are always a bit on the boozy side... Eating with your hands is a great joy too.

    I love eating with my fingers and the Injera, especially when I am in Washington DC where they have a lot of great Ethiopian restaurants. Some make the Injera with both teff and wheat, although I understand that authentic Injera is made with only teff. The Shiro Wat is usually my favorite.

    Eating with your hands can be satisfying but it definitely isn't easier unless you are just picking up chunks of things. I used to eat this way with a Sri Lankan housemate, and eating rice and sauce without getting food all over your hands or putting your fingers in your mouth or licking them (all rude) is a real skill. I never managed to do it as elegantly as her. Eating with chopsticks is waaay easier to learn.
