I’m currently in the US staying with my girlfriend (we’re in a long-distance relationship) and her family. Been here for a month, have 2 more to go. Where I’m from (Romania) “breakfast foods” are not a thing. Breakfast is a full, proper meal just like lunch and dinner. Since being here, I haven’t been able to get accustomed to the concept of “breakfast foods”. Cereal, pancakes, waffles, bacon, eggs, toast, sandwiches, etc. These are like side dishes or snacks to me. I just don’t feel sated. Gave up on that. Now I’m back to eating what I normally do for breakfast: steak, pasta, rice, soup, stew, chicken, fish/seafood, etc.
Ever had Ethiopian food?
A lot of it’s served on a pancake-like bread called injera. Tastes a bit like sourdough bread, but with that nice gummy/spongy pancake texture. Tear a chunk off, use it to grab a handful of some delicious curry/stew-like food, and go to town on it.
Ethiopian restaurants can be few and far between, but definitely worth a search to see if there are any near you.
as someone who has never eaten ethiopian food, you made me want to eat ethiopian food <3
this sounds great : D
I’m definitely a fan! It’s pretty unique… if you’ve had Indian food, that’s probably the most comparable - tasty curry on naan bread. But at the same time, not really.
If you do have one near you, see if they have a sampler type platter with like a large-pizza-sized circle of injera with a single scoop of multiple types of curries in little piles across the top.
You’ll usually get little rolls of extra injera cuz the stuff on the main plate will disappear quick.
I’ve only tried the tip of the iceberg with Ethiopian food, but pretty much everything I’ve tried so far has been great - easy favorite is the lentil curry.
