Ethiopian cuisine — 1970s, Diaspora DC / Tel Aviv
Before Ethiopian cuisine reaches the table, the method to trust is 1970s: “Diaspora DC / Tel Aviv,” measured by 80. Season it before it is served. A star rating is not a measure. teff injera should not be an afterthought mush.
Addis Ababa, Gondar and Dire Dawa do not cook the same dinner. Regional stubbornness is the cuisine, not a footnote. The home pantry around Injera and the labour behind Injera rarely fit a takeaway box. Are restaurant versions "authentic"? Restaurant Ethiopian cuisine is one register. Home pots and market stalls are others. Authenticity is a marketing word; technique is not.
