INTERVIEWEE: Abyenhe

🇪🇹INJERA: Begin by mixing teff flour and water, letting the mixture ferment for a day to prevent excessive sourness. Simultaneously, create maize dough for added softness and texture. Combine the two doughs and allow them to ferment for approximately 2 days. For cooking, apply gomenzera on the flat stove to clean it, then place the injera mix on the flattop briefly, typically for a few seconds, to achieve the desired result.

🥒 ABOUT BEFRS:
Hey, I’m Sonny! I’m from the US but I’ve been living in Asia for 10 years and started making food and travel videos to document my experiences. I travel to different parts of the world, hunting down and documenting the most unique food each country has to offer.

If you see any factual food errors in my videos, please feel free to politely let me know in the comments. I'm a huge fan of trying different, interesting foods in each country. My show is from a Western point of view, but more importantly, MY point of view. It is not meant to offend any person or culture.

After living in Addis for more than a decade, love Ethiopian food, but it’s not “street food” by any reasonable definition. Yilma Siga Bet, where you went, is a fancy sit-down restaurant. Nobody eats food in a street food style manner — walking while eating, carrying food, eating on the sidewalk, takeaway, etc is considered disrespectful to the food. In fact Ethiopian culture dictates that food should be enjoyed sitting down in good company. The opposite of street food in every way.

I am from Chad but have been to Ethiopia a couple of times. I love it there. Top-notch service offered by Ethiopian Airlines, beautiful city of Addis and women. Ethiopia makes me proud as an Africa. I see why the headquarters of the African Union is there.

[nuttelaxannyk]

as an Ethiopian and a fan of this show for more than 4 years it gives me such joy to see familiar faces and cultures being shared on here thank you for your visit Sonny :)

[udayameiste]

Am Indian. but i love so much Ethiopian food and people... I stayed in Ethiopia for 4 years...

[ishimweishimwe]

Im not Ethiopian but my dad loves their coffee. He oftern goes to a market north of our city where many Ethiopians reside and buys coffee beans. He then comes home and dedicates 1-2hrs roasting them. The smell of it is often potent but I’ve come to associate it with warmth because of my dad. Been really into coffee since. Random story, but I was just reminded of it.

[nosExsince]

6:45 I love that you can literally feed someone you just met using your hands. It just show that Ethiopians are affectionate and respectful people with strong communal spirit. ❤ from PH.

[joinmeki]

As someone who has religiously been following your channel over the past several years and being an Ethiopian, I have always wondered why you never visited my country but now, the case is settled. Thanks Sonny for showing the world what a plethora of culture of food Ethiopia has to offer to the world 😊

[deesdiary]

This is once again a sign that I MUST try ethiopian food. May God bless these beautiful people and their country! I have met a few ethiopians and they have always been so sweet and humble. I truly wish Ethiopian Airlines served more of their traditional inspired food. Would really make the travelling experience with them more authentic.
Best wishes from South Africa 🇿🇦

who else agrees that Sonny is the best person to look up to when you're upset, not feeling the best, or overwhelmed? He is always so positive and comical, which always puts a smile on my face even if I'm not feeling the best :)) we love you Sonny!!

[suryafernwahs]

As an Indian, I feel the Ethiopian food culture is very much similar to that of the Indian platter. Even the places look very much familiar as if I have been there. Love the culture of Gursha..Thanks to Sonny for introducing Ethiopian food. Am definitely gng to try it some day. Love you Ethiopian brothers and sisters ❤

[adhkhjcdar]

Mahider did well presenting the food culture, props to you mahi😊

[megatronmacek]

The coffee ritual was beautiful. The woman looked so happy and proud to share her beautiful work with the world. I wish she got an interview, I feel she has so much insight and stories to tell.

[ILMisAwesome]

Oh man, this video reminds me of my trip to Ethiopia last year. The welcoming smiles of the Ethiopian people, the pleasant weather, and the sweet aroma filling the streets. This video makes me want to go back soon. Thank you for posting it.

[felixabayomiakanbaiyaniwur]

Ethiopia 🇪🇹 remains the leading light in Africa ! Everything about this wonderful people is unique . As a Nigerian I admire Ethiopians and their uniqueness…thanks sonny for showcasing africa and the world ..Glory to Ethiopia 🇪🇹 ❤️

[phoenix]

Finally!!! I've been waiting for this video release for two months. I'm glad you presented the awesome food of my country 🇪🇹 ❤❤❤ But they don't usually add maize in injera. It's purely made of teff flour. Those who add maize flour do it because it's cheaper.

[ElwynnForest]

The people of Ethiopia are so beautiful <3 Their faces are so young and friendly!

[kallmeleo]

So thrilled the world is getting more exposure to Ethiopian cuisine - their vegetarian meal is so diverse and flavorful!!!! Kitfo is the REAL DEAL MAN!!! I miss it so much. If you guys are in the US - DC, Atlanta, Seattle or Houston, you've got to go get some Ethiopian food. I love the way Sonny describes the textures and taste of every dish....it makes us feel like we're actually there!! epic!!!

[abdirahmanmuktar]
