Some other exciting food finds from restaurants and grocery stores in (urban) Ethiopia so far: coconut milk powder, soy milk powder, soy sauce, cumin, coriander, curry powder, teff pancake mix, M&Ms, apple cider vinegar. Butternut squash, bell peppers, broccoli. Indian food, Thai food. Have yet to try Korean, Chinese or Japanese food in Addis, but I know it's available. Beets, carrots, green beans, ginger. Hibiscus tea. Iced coffee. Peanut butter. Oatmeal. Flax seeds.
Exciting food finds at site: fresh injira that's slightly crispy, sautéed greens, lentil stew (misir watt - maybe the most satisfying and tasty of foods in country - I eat this most days at site for lunch), coffee with a bit of salt is actually not bad! (That's how they prepare it in Sidama - the fact that the local coffee is delicious helps with the strangeness of salt in coffee). Coffee with milk. Mango. Avocado and garlic (always available at site on market days). Samosa type things with lentil filling. Cabbage made with local butter, spices and hot pepper. Making home fries for breakfast during potato season. Peanut butter stew with ginger, garlic, soy sauce, potatoes, carrots.
